Another part of my life. Oh how I miss all the parades, carnivals and fireworks. Now it is hard to even find a place that let fireworks off. This is suppose to be a big holiday, at least to me I think it should be. Independence Day. And everyone wore red white and blue. I did have a chance to take my kids to a couple of parades near us, but that was at least 25 yrs. ago. Now I have a grandson who is 2 and I would love to take him to a parade, then a carnival all day and then fireworks. I don't know where I would have to go to do that cause there is no place near by. Yes I am approx. about 45 mins. to 1 hour from Washington, D.C.. Shame to say nothing to go there for anymore. The fireworks there are not all that anymore neither. Don't really want to be on a freeway to go that far neither. And speaking of freeway, highways or whatever. Please don't drink where you know you can't really drive and be safe. I want you all to have a GREAT INDEPENDENCE DAY weekend and to be SAFE no matter what you are doing.
