Celebrating the 4th, BY-Style!!!

Well after a long week of moving and nesting, the GC and I were pretty beat. She powered down for about 4 hours this afternoon. (I even got to watch some HD TV!)

So we had heard from multiple sources that the fireworks show downtown was something to see. So we headed down to the riverfront to watch. Took no time at all, and with some delay in the parking deck, we were out and about.

Then we took in the sites, watching the Army rock band belt out some cheesy American rock tunes....

GC looking stunning:






Me sporting a day's growth:


Then her camera died, and no more pics. But the night was great. A nice breeze coming off the water was awesome. Then some lovely fireworks, shot from the park next to the USS North Carolina (which is permanently docked here.)

After the show, then it was bedlam to try to get back to the car. The GC was in full effect... mowing people over left and right. One poor dude actually bounced off her belly. I think BY kicked him in the jimmy! We make it to the car on the top floor of the garage... and no movement. For an hour!!! Seriously. I still don't know why.

But we have survived. Now the GC is in bed next to me, powering down for another night sleep. I think she is dreaming of yardwork! But that is a story for a different day.
