July 4th!

Unfortunately July 4th has not turned out as expected.  I am at home on my computer catching up on work!  Unfortunately the weather is terrible.  It is still early in the day so hopefully it will clear up by tonight.  I have not heard that any fireworks have been cancelled so we are hoping for the best.

Our plans to go down to DC for the day have been changed though.  Dragging 2 young children around DC in the rain is not my idea of fun.  If I asked my wife she would probably have to agree.  Recently I heard that a lot of the events that use to take place in DC have changed over the past couple of years.  They no longer have concerts with the Beach Boys, Fleetwood Mac, Britney Spears, etc.  An article mentioned that those concerts were drawing in the wrong crowd.  DC is working towards making the 4th of July more of a family event rather than a young adult or teenage event.  I guess it doesn’t matter this year we’ll have to wait and try again next year.
