BALTIMORE (WJZ) — Headed on a road trip for the Memorial Day weekend? You are far from alone.More than 814,000 Maryland residents are expected to travel for the holiday, the most for the Memorial Day long weekend since 2005.According to AAA Mid-Atlantic, more than 38 million Americans will travel this Memorial Day weekend, an increase of nearly two percent compared to last year’s holiday due to lower gas prices.
“This Memorial Day weekend alone more than 300,000 drivers are expected cross over the Bay Bridge,” said AAA spokesperson Ragina Averella.Maryland’s current average price for a gallon of gas is $2.26, reflecting a discount of 41 cents over last year at this time.AAA expects most U.S. drivers will pay the lowest Memorial Day gas prices since 2005.
AAA also estimates that Americans have saved $18 billion on gas so far this year compared to the same period in 2015, and prices are at the lowest levels in 11 years.

My daughter has a soccer tournament in Gettysburg that will be all-day Saturday and Sunday.
Hopefully traffic won't be bad, but man is it going to be hot out there all weekend long. Glad I am just watching and not playing! It will be hot enough just sitting there

Sounds like a great weekend. Be sure to have lots of chilled beverages. 
Good luck to your daughter's team.

Unfortunately they won't be adult chilled beverages, as we will be on the college campus. Plus water and gatorade will be better for staying dehydrated anyway.
I have to remember to use sunscreen, or my bald head will look like a ripe tomato.
