Happy 4th of July!

There’s always something fun about this holiday. If you are planning to go down to the Mall to see the fireworks– they don’t start until 9:15pm. But there is tons of things to do while you’re waiting. Click here to find some great viewing spots. And don’t forget– there is no parking allowed this year on the shoulder of the George Washington Parkway!
If you’re like me and don’t like the crowds– look through this list for a local fireworks display in your neighborhood. From Arlington to Leesburg– just about every local area will have an event. You folks in Vienna will have to be happy with a laser display after last year’s accident.
I have been thinking this year of what the July 4th holiday means. It is about freedom and I’m tired of hearing “Happy 4th of July!” Not that I want to criticize anyone, but I sure would like to see people remembering what this hiliday is about. How about yelling Happy Birthday America or Happy Independence Day!!! That’s what is all about, not back yard bbqs, picnics and beer at the beach.
