How Do You Celebrate the Fourth of July?

Share this post

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.
