Good morning everyone, happy Fourth of July! Ever since I was a young kid, I have always loved the Fourth of July. I love the great food, the warm weather, the loud noises, and the beautiful fireworks. Thanksgiving and Christmas are late in the year, but the Fourth of July is a smack dab in the middle of the year. I have celebrated the Fourth of July all over the country and over in Europe (they don’t care much about our Independence Day), but I always love coming to Southern California to see my family.
Yesterday was a really long day of travel. I flew from Malta to Amsterdam to Seattle to Orange County. That was a heck of a travel day, but I know the trip was worth it to be home for the Fourth of July holiday. I don’t have big plans, maybe go to the beach for a few hours, then over to my grandparent’s house for a BBQ and to watch the fireworks. It’s not the most amazing Fourth of July, but I always look forward to the holiday.
So enough about me. How do you celebrate the Fourth of July? Do you do a big BBQ? Do you go on a harbor cruise to watch the fireworks? Or go out to a baseball game with your friends and family? Please share what the Fourth of July means to you, I would love to hear. That’s all from me, go out, have fun and be safe!
Welcome home Grant! For the last 20+ years in the morning we always watch a local parade from the end of the street in OPA, then in the afternoon go to my sons house near the 91 & Lakeview to have a bbq & watch the fireworks display at the park across the street.
That sounds great. I love going to small, local parades. Hopefully you have a great view of the fireworks :)
