We spent our 4th of July participating in pretty 'usual' activities. We relaxed around the house in the morning. In the afternoon we finally decided to get out and see the Cherry Festival activities. As we were fighting the traffic to make it to the car show some friends called and invited us to a baseball game. We accepted and gladly left the traffic for a typical American activity. It was a fun evening, watching the Traverse City Beach Bums win a game. Then we stopped by the Yacht Club for a short visit but passed up the fireworks because of the crowds. We did see a bit of the sights through the trees here at our house. It was kind an "Old Folks" holiday but we were happy.
I remember spending my most unusual 4th of July in Belgium in the summer of 1977. That was the summer that I backpacked through Europe. We 'splurged' and ate out that night. We had Chinese food for dinner. No one else was celebrating the holiday. I am sure that Erik has spent some unusual 4th holidays in some unusual places.
Eva spent the 4th in Iowa with David's family. I am glad that she was able to drive out and visit them. Sara and Leo spent their holiday in Kentucky with Leo's family. I'm not sure about the rest of the family.
How about you?? How did you spend your holiday???
