4th of July '09



We spent Independence Day with some friends in Madison, Connecticut. We attended their town parade with them in the morning and then had a BBQ at their home. After that we went down to the beach and saw a bit of their beautiful town. They live on the river, so Chris and their older son had great fun going up and down the river in a small boat. The parade was beautiful and it's always such a pleasure to see how much pride Americans have in their country and how they so appreciate all their armed forces. Madison is a small country town and it was so refreshing and relaxing being in that environment. We picked up a few fireworks as well and lit them when we got home. On our drive back that night we were able to see some of the spectacular fireworks from the Macy's firework display in NY. We had a wonderful family day and it felt like we spent it in true American style.
