4th of July and 4 days after

So the fourth of July in my neighborhood was quite the spectacle. The neighbors blocked off cul-de-sac and set off gobs of fireworks. I think some of them must have spent thousands of dollars. It was really beautiful, almost like being at a professional fireworks show. It makes me really appreciate the neighborhood I live in, and how it will hopefully prove to be a positive place to raise kids. I hate paying my house payment every month, but when I see my son playing with his friends, feeling safe and carefree it takes away my discomfort about the money.

We are leaving for a short Vacation early tomorrow morning and will be gone the remainder of the week through weekend. I'm looking forward to a little R&R and some beautiful scenery. Washington State is truly endless when it comes to natural beauty. We are going to a small fishing town on the northern most tip of Washington called Sekiu. It is very quaint, in fact, it doesn't even have a grocery store. We like to stay there because it is cheap and centrally located to the rain forest, hot springs and cape flattery. It also has the best uncombed beaches, which makes for great finds and the kids love the treasure hunt. It should be a great time.

1.15 till lift off... I can't wait to get out of here.
