We spent the day down at Pearl Harbor Navy base. Had a great time, all the battle ships were decorated up and looked amazing, loads of rides for the kids, food, bands etc and the firework show was outstanding as usual! Happy Birthday America!!

It has taken 6 years of Kate trying to get me to try Italian sausages, crispy coated off the barby and in a hot dog roll ............. Today I did
I went back for seconds

I played oblivion... waited until the "feastivities" were over by the pool and went for a quiet dip while everyone else went to watch the fireworks... got to watch them quietly from my balcony

I went to bed at 9pm. I had to be up at 4:30 this morning for work. I don't enjoy 4th July that much anyway, it's just a day off.

Watched the fireworks across Lake Washington...pretty spectacular..Bill Gates had the best display closely followed by Redmond and Bellevue.
After seeing the 4th at National Mall last year and the Millenium display at the Thames in 2000..bit spoiled really.
Walked around Seward Park earlier in the day ...lots of people bar b Q-ing...4 hours later rain...schadenfraude moments as the neighbours with loud BBQ celebrations ran for cover ...party over..... Loud music over too
