July 4, 2010 - Waiting for Fireworks

We decided to try out the local fireworks.  We'd heard that you needed to get to Wills Park early to get a spot, but by the time we got there, the park was already closed.  We'd stopped for sandwiches and drinks at Publix to have a makeshift picnic.  We ended up parking at a store and finding some grass to spread our blankets on.  There were probably a million beetles in the grass and the extended gamily who showed up next to us started encroaching on our space.  They sure did have a nice spread - tons of food, tables with lace tablecloths - it was out of control.  Of, course, when firework time came, there was a HUGE tree blocking our view, so we had to quickly move down the road a bit for a better view.  It ended up being a very nice night.
