This year’s 4th of July we celebrated at the National Mall. When we started living in the DC metro area, the first 3 years we enjoyed the Independence Day fireworks in Washington, DC. Then, we explored various options and places to celebrate the 4th of July and view other fireworks. We’ve been to the party at the mansion in Maryland, on the USS Constellation historic ship in Baltimore and numerous times on the beach among others. Here are a couple posts of our Independence Day celebration at Mount Vernon and at Virginia Beach, but there is nothing more impressive than the fireworks at the National Mall.
