Stars kick off summer with Memorial Day fun in the sun

The weather is getting warmer and even celebrities have to take a day off every once in a while…and many of them are starting summer earlier than the calendar says.

Tom Brady knew exactly how he wanted to spend his long weekend… ripping off his shirt and ending up on a wakeboard, a big smile on his face. I love that ocean breeze in my hair, Tom!

In the meantime, Sofia Vergara took a photo with her little dog… and wished everyone a very happy holiday – apparently enjoying the day with one of her close friends.

Lindsay Lohan, Kate Hudson And Cindy Crawford everyone also posted beach snaps… in swimsuits and ready to head out for a cool swim – a brilliant way to spend the weekend.

Yet other celebrities decided to focus on the true meaning of the holiday: a way to honor soldiers killed in combat. Matthew McConaughey posted a photo of himself at the University of Texas Longhorns football stadium with the message “respect and remember.”

There are also a ton of posts like this… from stars like Melissa Joan Hart, Bette Midler, Blake Shelton and more: another great way to celebrate FWIW day.
