When my father worked for the High Steel Co. over 15 years ago, I remember going to their fire works show, and boy was it amazing!!! In Georgia, we attended the laser and light show at Stone Mountain, now that was pretty cool!!!! If you haven't gone, it's something you must see... even if it's not during J4, other nights make you feel like it is... LOL
While living in Colorado, we had the opportunity to celebrate a few July 4th events, the beauty of it all was sitting on the hillside and looking beyond that flat land, watching all the night lights come on, and the fire works in each city bloom in competition. Colorado is one of the most beautiful states I've ever lived in.
Now, California, has not impressed me yet... because I have not had the opportunity to actually go somewhere far or spectacular. This year the Oroville Dam had their fire works show, but I opt out, since I've heard the overly crowded lake becomes too hectic and jammed after the event, with people trying to exit.
So with all of this said, this year for J4 I spent time with my parents, cooked, clean, baked cupcakes and watched the kids shoot some fire works and relaxed. I believe this was good enough, and now it's time to wait until it comes around again next year, Happy Independence Day!!!
