Perhaps I need to explain why I really love the Fourth of July! Long weekends, cookouts, waterparks, fireworks, LOVE IT. My favorite memories involve a day out at a celebration of some kind, with lots of events, eating KFC picnic style, with a huge firework finale (the kind where they play music with the fireworks). My absolute favorite one to date was the year my friend and I went into downtown Boston and spent the day sightseeing before watching fireworks on the bridge. I've also had an awesome 4th at the Hollywood Bowl (oh California I miss you!).
This year was a little tricky. I hate when they put fireworks on the 3rd instead of the 4th. It doesn't feel real to me. But with a 5 week old baby in tow, we ended up not going to fireworks. We are still keeping her away from crowds until we get the 2 month shots as recommended, and in Orlando there are NO places without tons of crowds. I did my KFC, and a relaxing weekend with Rob and Jordan, and it was nice.
Jordan got all dressed up in honor of the holiday. I bought a dress from Gymboree courtesy of Noni, and while it was still a little big it was super cute! I know I wanted a boy, but I do have to say the perks of having a girl is that I get to play dress up all over again. And next year I get to look forward to dragging my one year old and husband to fireworks!
