Teri, Matt, and I went to the office to watch the fireworks after driving home from Super Ball. Robie and his family were supposed to be there. I was worried about who else might be there. Thankfully no one was there other than Robie’s clan. I met his son Robie and saw his brother Jodie again. All their kids were there. Teri, Matt, and I hung out in my office while drinking beers and eating some chips and dip. It is the perfect view. It was amazing how many other firework shows we saw. Pretty much from 8:30 on there were fireworks non-stop on the horizon. It was really cool to see. I wish I had a camera set up to take a time lapse shot. You would see fireworks across the whole horizon all at once.
The DC fireworks were nice. A few seemed to go off pretty low. Lots of shaped fireworks such as hearts. It seemed like a lot of fireworks over the 15 or 20 minute period. The river was full of boats as usual. Our location in Rosslyn was perfect because we didn’t have to deal with all the crowds. We decided to walk back. Teri attempted to take the metro but gave up when she saw the line of people waiting to get in. Next year maybe I’ll bike down to the mall again.
