Hi, all! Jennifer here.
To those in the United States, Happy Independence Day!
The Fourth of July is one of my favorite holidays because 1) it is in summer and 2) it’s such a proud, patriotic holiday.
I just recently visited Philadelphia a few days ago because I do love all the history and went to the old Christ Church. I actually sat in the pew where George Washington worshipped. The bells in the church today are the original bells that rang on July 4, 1788 bells to celebrate the ratification of the Constitution.
Cool, huh?
Today we’ll be having our annual neighborhood BBQ–we are expecting about 25-30 people–and then we’ll all walk down to the beach a few blocks away and catch the fireworks. (Hopefully the rain will clear by then)
If you are celebrating, hope you have a fun and safe holiday!
What are your plans for July 4th?
I can only imagine the awe you must’ve experienced sitting in that church, Jennifer.
Your holiday plans sound fantastic. We be gathered with family for some grilling and family dishing on the front porch.
