One of the coolest perks of our new house happens on the 4th of July. In our town of Monroe, Ohio, each year they celebrate the 4th with a very nice fireworks display. Last year, with Slade only being a few months old, we decided that going to the park to watch the fireworks was in the "too hard" category. So, we chose to stay home. We happened to be upstairs when we heard the fireworks start and took a look outside to see if we could see anything. We discovered that we had a great view of the fireworks from our master bedroom. We opened the curtains, brought the boys to the window, and enjoyed a great fireworks show from the comfort of our own house. It was great. And, we didn't even have to fight the crowds to get back home after the fireworks, because we were already there!This year, however, we are out of town for the 4th and will have to miss the Monroe fireworks. We are spending the week in Virginia with Sarah's parents and, I am sure, will be checking out a fireworks display in their town. They do have fireworks in Virginia, don't they?

Does VA have fireworks? Do birds fly? With the history of the U.S. starting in Jamestown,the Revolutionary War won at Yorktown, Williamsburg being the first capital, and FT Monroe being one of the oldest historic forts in the U.S., VA does know how to celerate July 4th. There are even the more modern additions like Langley, FT Eustis, and Bush Gardens that contribute to the festivities. Now that I have given it the big build up, the problem is fighting the traffic to find a good spot. We will have to consider the possibilities, but nothing as convenient as your view from the window. I could opt for sparklers with Selleck and Slade.
Happy Fourth of July to you and your family. Monroe fireworks might not be happening this year it is raining. We have heard several booms so far. Wish my two firecrackers a happy Fourth of July. If the boys do spaklers this year get a picture Thanks
You forgot to mention that in addition to not having to fight the crowds, we also don't have to deal with bugs and heat. It's the best!
