Last year we headed over to the square in Decatur for fireworks. Some of our "Summer Friends," folks we seem to only see in the summer down at the pool, staked out a good spot close to the fireworks action beside a low rise office building near the square. Orange cones were put out in an office parking lot to claim our bit of real estate. There was even a little outside dining area that we commandeered. Adults sat around and talked. Kids played ball in the parking lot. Snacks and drinks were out for all to share. We set up our chairs in the parking lot for best fireworks viewing when the appropriate time came. Very enjoyable.
Other pleasurable Independence Day celebrations... For a couple of years in a row, we managed an invitation to a friends beach front home near Tom's mom in Jacksonville. Great house. Great location. Great fireworks. One year we headed to Sawgrass to my sister's in-laws. Great fireworks on the golf course that year. We were at Hilton Head one fourth...my sister-in-law, Lisa, is the best at celebrating this holiday. Everyone is in red, white and blue...flag decore...etc. Did we make it to fireworks then? Can't remember.
We bought bunting for the house a few years ago, so we hang it on the front porch now and around Memorial Day. Very festive. Tom likes to fly the American Flag year round. I bought a fun Happy 4th of July banner a couple of years ago that I put up on the fireplace. We're proud Americans.
