I hope you had a happy 4th and enjoyed some food and fireworks with family and/or friends. I did absolutely NOTHING all day and it was quite nice. Growing up, we would always go to see the fireworks in Hudson.  Although I think we stopped going many years ago. Also, one year I was in the Stow 4th of July parade - but that was a one time deal. I no longer have a "tradition" for fireworks on the 4th. 

There was one year where my mom and I were going to Albuquerque to visit her sister and a couple of my cousins right around the 4th of July. Driving out to New Mexico that year was very cool! Once we got into the Texas panhandle and into New Mexico, you could just see fireworks being shot off from who knows how far away!! It was very pretty to be driving across the desert at night surrounded by occasional flickers of light.

Once we were in town, my aunt took us to a local fireworks display for that year. As far as I remember that was the last time I actually tried to make it to a scheduled fireworks show. Hopefully you made it to one this year and enjoyed it for me.
