This year the 4th of July falls exactly mid-week, meaning no cool built-in 3-day weekend (unless you’re like my mom and take off the Monday and Tuesday and thus have a lovely 5-day weekend).

My apartment has been super hot the last few days, and I didn’t have any plans up in SB for the holiday, so last night I decided somewhat last-minute to drive down to my parents’ house and surprise them. So, I arrived last night around 10:30pm.

Today my sister is coming over and we are going to have a little BBQ, and then when it gets dark, watch all of the fireworks that my neighbors bought (we have 2 people on our street who go CRAZY with all the stuff they buy).

Not much else going on today that I know of…would probably be a nice day for the beach, but I suspect that the OC beaches where I would normally go are absolutely packed (for instance, I normally head out to Huntington, but I heard on the radio that TONS of people are there and that they plan to have this huge fireworks display, which would be cool, but also means large crowds). So, quiet, family BBQ and street fireworks it is!

Hope everyone is having a nice day!
