the 4th

i was trying to figure out the best spot to see the fireworks in dc. a rooftop was not as easy to come by and dealing with the traffic and tourists was the last thing in mind. but i definitely wanted to see them and where we ended up turned out to be perfect. two Adirondack chairs, tequila gimlets, pizza, and they were shooting off from every angle. a bunch of kids were even shooting them off right in front of the house. a neighborhood of hoodlums is a positive thing on the forth. it was Olive's first encounter and she wasn't too excited but lady was barking at each boom, jumping up as if she thought she could catch them. cheers to independence. we are free to live, free to make our lives as amazing as we want them to be
