7/4/05 Fireworks on the Mall, Smithsonian Museum of Natural History

Waiting for fireworks.


We spent some time going through the Natural History Museum, and then we parked ourselves on the "Mall" looking toward the Washington Monument. We waited for 4 loooong hours, most of it in the sun, until it was time for the show. It really was the best fire works show I have ever seen. We were too far from the capitol building to hear the music they had there, but we didn't need music! They had the best lemonade I can remember too... maybe it's because I was so hot and thirsty? We also had buffalo burgers for dinner.

After the show we took the subway back to the hotel. It was so crammed, and people pushing and cramming more and more into the car. When we got to our stop it was so crammed and no one would move for us to get off! It ended up a bunch of people (me included) yelling at the people by the door to let us out! I finally pushed myself and the boys off while hubby stood in the doorway so the train couldn't leave with us still on! LOL I don't think I want to do that again. *smiles*
