I'm headed down to D.C. tonight to catch the fireworks tomorrow night. I grew up in DC but have been living in Philly for the last 20 years. I've missed the fireworks on the DC Mall perhaps 5 times since 1974. Growing up, much of my extended family would drive down for it as well. We would drive in early, visit museums, walk around the Smithsonian Folk Festival, or just sit on a blanket and play cards until the sun went down. There were years it has been just me, years it has rained and years it was in the 100s with 99% humidity. I'm glad I went to every one of them. I had friends growing up that didn't make the 30 minute/commute into the city and I never understood it. I love fireworks and I love the energy in DC on the 4th.
Curious what everyone else is doing tomorrow.
