Is anyone doing anything special for the 4th of July?

Our friends in the UK and OZ don't celebrate the 4th, but they could add in their plans for the weekend. The 4th is on Monday so I know a few will be enjoying their 3 day weekend.

I love that place. Never by boat though. I haven't seen the BSO for a long time. Used to go when I lived in Woburn. I miss going down, but I hate to fight the crowds.

years ago we used to go in by boat, total nightmare when its time to leave, worse than sitting on the southeast expressway on a friday afternoon, much, much easier to take the subway.

If I'm not too lazy about it, I plan on going to see the fireworks display. My town always puts out one of the best displays in my area. I just hate dealing with the traffic and crowds. I wish I lived close enough to just walk down to see them.

My town did them last weekend (so they don't compete with Boston) and they do them right across the street from my house. My kids were up on the roof taking pictures. Then we watched while everyone tried to get home. I was glad I only had to walk across the street. I am not sure if I am going to attempt the crowds in Boston even though it's a beautiful display. I guess I'll have to sleep on that one. Either way I am going to have a nice long weekend.

Here you go straight from Wikipedia (cause I didn't want to screw it up). Independence Day, commonly known as the Fourth of July, is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain.
