4th of July 2012


My parents came up to Boston for the 4th! I wasn't sure what my Southern family would think of Boston, but I think they loved it! My mom thought the city was beautiful, and my youngest sister, Lia, was ready to move here.

We started off the morning of the 4th by walking down to the water to watch the Blue Angels and to see the USS Constitution sail.

We then walked around our neighborhood and heard the tale of Paul Revere at the Old North Church.

And then it was time for our 4th of July feast! Every time I tried taking pictures of the food, Johnny's hand somehow found its way into the shot. Exhibit A:



Our meal was so delicious!! It was one of my favorite parts of the day. Squash, coleslaw, corn on the cob, potato casserole, and barbecue sandwiches. It doesn't get much better than that.

That night we went to Bunker Hill to watch the fireworks. Lots of other people had the same idea as us, so we thought it must be a perfect seat. But the show started, and we realized that we weren't up high enough! So we quickly gathered our stuff and ran to the bridge, only to get caught in a downpour! Thankfully, we found an awning to get under, and we watched the show from there. It was definitely an unforgettable night!
