Festive Friday: Memorial Day Traditions

We love traditions at Bon Voyage Friends. With the start of Memorial Day Weekend, we wanted to share a great article from PBS about traditions for this special holiday. The picture below is a BVF original and was taken outside of the Historic Old Post Office in Washington, D.C.

7. Once cookies are out of the oven immediately put kisses in the centre of each cookie and leave to cool on a cooling rack.
