Independence Day

July 4, 2011

One of the reasons we moved on Sunday was to avoid the Independence Day traffic.  Our realtor warned us that this being the birthplace of the Star Spangled Banner, the crowds to watch the fireworks would be enormous.  She was right!  Because of the close proximity of our apartment to the Inner Harbor, we could walk to all the festivities. 






The fireworks were the best we'ver ever seen. They eclipsed the Dominos Sugar sign--an icon that normally illuminates the harbor at night.



Unfortunately, the cats did not share our opinion of the fireworks.  Rose howled for much of the night and Earl--well let's not go there.  They finally settled down around 3 AM.   At this point, we are questioning our sanity for bringing them and ourselves for that matter.  As we fall asleep, we keep repeating "it is always darkest before the dawn."
