Fourth of July is hands down my favorite holiday. There's no pressure for gifts or traditions, it's just a best-of summer fun day :)
Past years have included the following celebrations:
- Nationals baseball game and Washington D.C. fireworks (got engaged the night before!)
- Swimming pool fun
- San Francisco trip with ice cream and fireworks
- Camping with friends
- Friend's wedding in Austin
- Watching fireworks from SLU
- Multiple BBQ with friends
- Greenlake picnic and sailing on Lake Washington
- Rialto Beach and lakehouse stay on the Olympic Peninsula
- West Seattle Kid's Parade
- Block Party
This year we opted for a baseball game and cheered on the DubSea Fish Sticks, a summer collegiate league team. At $12 a tickets with the twins getting in free, this was just our speed. We got the ballpark experience I love in a family-friendly setting. This was also our third year to celebrate with neighbors on our street's block party. Water guns, chalk art, wagon rides, sparklers, and a delicious summertime spread. Happy Birthday, America!
