One of the great things about living in our nation's Capital is the Fourth of July fireworks. Over the past few years, I have been spoiled by the amazing fireworks show put on by the city of DC, and I am sure that if I move anywhere else the Fourth of July celebration will pale in comparison.
This year's celebration cost a mere $226,000...Don't worry the show isn't paid for by federal taxpayer dollars...just the poor schmucks in DC who pay the highest taxes in the country for no representation. Happy Independence Day!
Back to the fun. This year, we parked by the Pentagon and metroed to Arlington Cemetery to watch the fireworks show on the banks of the Potomac River. It was an excellent location until the metro backed up and we ended up walking 2 miles back to the car at the Pentagon. But alas, I digress...here are some pictures from our fabulous location.

Reflection of the Fireworks in the Potomac River - the blob in the middle is a kayaker.
It was a great day, with mild weather and I am happy to report that my blisters have healed completely.
Happy Fourth of July!
I must say that the best fireworks I ever saw were in DC...LUCKY
