Happy 4th of July!

So we were suppose to be in Arizona for the 4th but we came home because... well long story. Let's me just say the drive from Arizona to San Diego is not fun with 2 kids and no where to stop. I think it took us about 6 or 7 hours and it's only suppose to be a 5 hour drive. Yesterday was a long day! So today was a good rest day for us. It was definitely an interesting 4th of July! Here in Coronado there are at least 2 Navy bases that I know of so they really like to celebrate. The day started with a parade that had almost every street closed. It was pretty good but no candy was ever thrown. At first we couldn't figure out and thought it was weird but then realized they probably didn't want the candy trash all over the place. Let's just say one little girl was pretty disappointed. There were lots of other activities that we did not go to. We came home to rest. The best part of the day was the fireworks and we didn't even go anywhere. The house we're staying at has a roof top area that puts your pretty high up. We thought we would only be able to see the ones on the island. But boy were we wrong. At 9:00 they started and we saw not 1... 2...3...4...5 but 6 areas shooting fireworks. Everywhere you turned there were some. The funny thing is they were literally all the same. It was pretty neat!
With this day coming to a close, I just wanted to say thank you to everyone that has or is currently serving and protecting our country! God bless you and the USA! Happy 4th of July everyone!
