Food and Fireworks

If Master Chef has a season composed entirely of grill-offs, J will be ready to compete.  He made hamburgers, hot dogs, and grilled peppers for our July 4th barbeque.


After dinner, we headed into DC to watch the fireworks over the National Mall.  However, we watched from across the river (where J works) to avoid the crowds and traffic.  We also did a little tailgating before the fireworks started:


Then at 9:10pm, we had 17 minutes of great fireworks viewing:


Hope everyone enjoyed the holiday!

  1. Looks like you guys had a great time. Watching the fireworks sans crowds is the way to go. We celebrated by staying in the A/C as much as possible, which is kind of funny, because I remember spending our first 4th of July here trying to stay warm.

  2. It's been super hot here also - I feel like we're back in Florida. Our high last week was 108. Ugh!
