Oh man. I can't believe you've never seen them live. It's so awesome. Being at the foot of the Washington Monument with those fireworks going off overhead... gives me chills.
Neither my wife nor her twin sister who will be in town this weekend have ever seen them live in DC. It's gonna be awesome to see their reaction.
IT is a good show but to me fireworks are fireworks, they have not come out with anything new in the fireworks world.
One year I lost my ride home during the fireworks and I had to sleep in the Mall in DC until the metro's started running again, it was actual a fun experience.
I became a big fan of fireworks again last summer, first year in our new place. The town launches them off from the beach right behind our place so they literally feel like they're right on top of you. A big crowd gathers on the common area in our development and it creates a buzz of excitement. Boats cruise in and anchor up out on the lake, and we have a top notch view from the comfort of our deck. Drinks in hand, good eats, fireworks, the lake, summer is officially here!

That sounds like a great time. Didn't you say you own a boat or you want to buy one at some point?
Just got my boat last week! Looks like great weather this weekend so we're looking forward to getting in some serious boat time.

Nice I like that and thats an excellent lake boat. So do you keep it on a trailer or at a marina? This is the new version of what I have and mine is about 2' bigger.

Thats the deal when you don;t have to trailer and it in the water ready to go when you want to take a cruise. Are you new to boating.
