Some impressions from last evenings 4th of July event and fireworks at the National Mall. We chose the smaller stage to put down our chairs so that we could have a better view at the fireworks. The firework was really nice.

Last year we have been sitting at the beach to enjoy the spectacle, this year there was no beach, but the firework was much better – hands down.

Looking towards the stage

The mall is filling up...
