Happy Independence Day!

Where better to celebrate than in the nation's capital!
















We met up with Dean's cousin Gina and her husband Chris and their gorgeous daughters for the parade, lunch and later the fireworks on the Mall. The weather in DC continues to be glorious - warm and sunny but not humid - so it was the absolute perfect year to take in the festivities.
We had decided to meet somewhere near the National Archives - not a great idea given the sheer volume of people there - lines out the door of the building and people lined up 5 and 6 deep along the curbs. We walked down one street and turned left in front of the building. They walked down another and turned right. So by complete luck we found each other within 1 minute!
The girls had a ball together and I was happy to catch up with Gina and Chris. They have recently moved to Virginia so I hope we'll get to see a lot more of them!
