America the Beautiful



Happy 4th of July! Nick and I had the opportunity to hang out with some great friends last night at Kaboomtown in Addison. Kaboomtown is a huge event that ends in a fireworks show that is rated one of the top in the nation. We have planned to go many years in the past, but never made it out so we were excited to finally get the chance. Our friends, Stephen and Stacy, live in Addison right where the event is held so we all met at their apartment and trekked downstairs for the big event. Let me tell you, big does not even begin to describe it. The crowds were AWFUL. Every nook and cranny of the lawn and sidewalks was packed person on top of person like a can of sardines. After spending about 30 minutes in the chaos and getting nowhere we decided to head to a local pub down the street instead. Then we ordered pizza and had a picnic on the rooftop of their buildings parking garage. We had an excellent view of the fireworks show (which really was fantastic) and could even hear the music from the orchestra playing in the background. It was an excellent night with fantastic friends.
