4th of July in the South!

Just a visit from us Southerners to tell you how the South celebrates the 4th of July! : ) LOL Luckily, I was able to have the day off, so we spent the majority of the morning doing absolutely nothing. I got a bunch of my scrap booking done and Jeremy worked on his video game skills : ) For dinner we made a yummy homemade pizza...

 

 

 

We were going to go to the beach to watch fireworks but the weather here has been really rainy so we didn't really want to chance it, plus by the time we actually thought about doing it we figured parking would be insane. Then we were just going to go to the local fireworks but we soon found out that those had been cancelled due to the weather. I had heard about a firework show in Mount Pleasant (about 40 minutes from us) right in the bay where the USS Yorktown is anchored. They sold tickets for people to actually sit on the deck to watch the show! So, I got the bright idea that we should go to "my bridge" to watch the fireworks! You all remember my bridge, right? 

 

I have been wanting to walk it for a really long time, so what better time? Well, when we got there, found parking and walked towards the bridge, we realized that they had the pedestrian walkway closed during the fireworks. BUT, there was a path going underneath the bridge that a bunch of people were going to so we decided to go investigate. What do you know - there is a pier under my bridge! You can kinda see it in the picture above actually, on the right hand side. So, we found a seat (next year we will know to bring chairs!) and waited for the show to start!!!

Our perfect view, with the USS Yorktown in the distance...

All of the boats in the water....kinda hard to see, but there were a ton!

 

I'm kinda surprised they let them all be there! We actually think they even shut the bridge down for the fireworks, too, although i'm not sure how they could do that, but we never heard any traffic going over us the whole time and when the finale was going on and all of the smoke, i'm not sure how anyone driving on the bridge would have been able to see! I tried to take pictures of the fireworks but they didn't turn out very well, so I took 2 videos - but for some reason they won't upload to blogger : ( They did a really good job though! Comparable to NY I suppose : ) 

Speaking of NY, we will be there a week from tomorrow! YAY! 

Hope you all enjoyed your holiday! 

You probably won't hear from me again until after our trip!
