We celebrated the fourth by going to see Transformers (More than Meets the Eye) and then going into town to watch the fireworks over the National mall.
My office building gives out tickets so that you can watch the fireworks from the roof. It's a great view, close to the metro (amazingly we missed the crowds) and since it rained pretty hard yesterday, we didn't have to sit in mud.
Actually, I just found out today that there was a tornado warning out for our area yesterday. Fortunately there was just rain, and no tornadoes.
DC puts on a great show. They shot fireworks for a half hour, with so many in the finale that an enormous clouds of smoke from the first half of the finale obscured bits of the second.
My favorites were the one that burst in the shape of hearts, stars, and enormous smiley faces.
The only bad thing is that I had to come back to work today, and it feels like a Monday. In fact, I even started gathering up the house garbage this morning. (Monday is garbage day)
