Oops! I forgot I never replied to this. Well, guess what happened? We arrived on July 1st around eleven PM and promptly found out that the fireworks were, in fact, NOT on the 4th of July. *forced smile, complete with gritted teeth and stress mark* They finished a few hours before we arrived. ... What kind of people do 4th of July fireworks on July 1st?!?! So yeah, we missed 'em. We decided to go see Bewitched in theaters to make up for it. But the movie stunk. ^^;; Oh well. It was a fun story to tell, anyway. My grandparents REALLY appreciated our visit. Especially my grandma. She's pretty much housebound, and we took her shopping at a few stores and out to eat. She always gets so emotional when we have to go.
But she's such a sweet lady. ^_^
It is the infirmity of little minds to be dazzled with everything that sparkles.
