July 4th, 2007
Tom and Sharron were here this year for the 4th. It made for a special day. We had a cookout at our house and then we headed to Victory Landing Park on the James River in downtown Newport News. The weather was warm but down near the water, there was a nice breeze. We walked around and checked out the water and navy ships. The kids threw around a volleyball and when it got dark, we got out our glow sticks.
The fireworks were very nice even though half way through, they stopped. Apparently, the barge broke loose from the winds and was headed toward the navy yard. In about 20 minutes, they started again and there was a GREAT finale! We got home late but had pie and ice cream for dessert.
I am thankful for the freedom that we have and for our way of life. We are very blessed. Happy 231st birthday America!!!
