Is there a better holiday than July 4th? Seriously, think about that for a second….You don’t HAVE to invite your in-laws, your cousins, or your younger brother with the whiny kids.  It’s just you and whoever you want to spend time with.

The highlight, of course, was the fireworks display off the beach- 3 different fireworks displays from 3 different seaside (North Shore of Massachusetts) towns.
