Happy 4th of July America!

Independence Day, commonly known as the 4th of July, is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain.

Independence Day is commonly associated with fireworks, parades, barbecues, carnivals, fairs, picnics, concerts, baseball games, family reunions, and political speeches and ceremonies, in addition to various other public and private events celebrating the history, government, and traditions of the United States. Independence Day is the national day of the United States.

I love having the day off and would usually go out to see the fireworks in DC; however, after the hurricane like weather we got and more streets still don’t have their lights working, I’ve decided to spend time with my family and just watch the fireworks on TV and have a grill out.

To all my British friends and subscribers: No hard feelings?! Lol 😉

You all have a great time today and be safe!

Hanging Flag

This was taken inside the Carnival Pride cruise boat. The large American flag was hanging inside the cove where the main elevators were. I really loved the architecture around the flag and thought I’d snap a shot.

This was the original shot:
