Fourth of July fireworks

So how did your weekend go? Did you have a good time? and did you get some time to relax and unwind? I sure did.

It was a good weekend. There was rain as well as sunshine. There was laughter with friends and some quiet time at home. There was retail therapy too....what more can one ask?

I couldn't help reminiscing about some of our past 4th of July weekends. Fireworks are almost always a part of it. In my first year in the US, hubby and I went to New York city for the 4th of July weekend and we went to watch the famous Macy's  July 4th fireworks. The show was spectacular..... and quite impressive. I still feel that was the best July 4th fireworks that I have witnessed till date....maybe because it was my first time watching such an enormous display of fireworks, that too against the NYC skyline. It sure was breathtaking!

Today we went to Busch gardens to see the fireworks. My son enjoyed it thoroughly. Here are some pictures.....definitely my best shots of fireworks so far. 








My friends in the US, which one is your most memorable July 4th fireworks? Do share.....
Have a good week, everyone!
