One of the best things about Independence Day is the fireworks. I love them. Last night, on Independence Day Eve, I discovered I could see a fireworks show from my bathroom window. I opened the window as wide as it would go, turned out the lights, took a seat (on the you know what) and enjoyed the show. Not the best fireworks experience, but fun none the less.
Here are some of my favorite fireworks memories:
1. Fireworks in Punxsutawney, PA at 7:00 am after Phil the Groundhog saw his shadow.
2. Backyard fireworks at my brother's house. After one unfortunate misfiring and the lawn catching fire, my niece started hyperventilating while the rest of nearly died laughing.
3. New Year's fireworks over the Blue Mosque in Istanbul.
4. New Year's fireworks over the Baltimore Harbor.
5. Fireworks at the University of Maryland with my family... multiple years.
6. Fireworks on the Mall... multiple years. The monuments make a stunning background.
8. A bird's eye view of multiple firework shows somewhere in the Midwest when flying home from SLC on the Fourth of July.
HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!!
