Fourth weekend

After last year’s fourth of July extravaganza, I decided I wanted to do something a little less patriotic this year. Amy mentioned that a friend of hers would be watching the fireworks from his boat at the marina, and asked if I wanted to join her. Of course I wanted to join her! We headed down to the waterfront with only a few minutes to spare before the festivities, but we ran into Amy’s friend almost immediately and he was a great boat host. Watching the fireworks from the marina was definitely different from being at the Jefferson Memorial – it was peaceful and relaxing. It helps that this year it was at least 15* cooler than last year. After the fireworks, Amy and I were headed back to the metro when her friend Jason called – he was nearby, so he picked us up and we all grabbed a bite to eat downtown.

The next day, I had a ticket to the Nationals game, thanks to a friend who couldn’t use her season ticket. The weather was perfect, the seat was great, and the Nationals even won!

the crowds moving in...


a great seat!
