Here are my thoughts re: 7/4:
1. I always want to make a flag cake with raspberries and blueberries and probably Cool Whip. Ew. But also, Mmm. I never have. Not this year, but maybe one day.
2. Speaking of flags, there is a restaurant around the corner that hangs different flags and it rotates and we always try to guess them. I know a few but am about 15% with my flag knowledge. We felt this was a disgrace so I bought some flag flashcards and one night Sean and I spent the evening learning them and quizzing each other. I know, I know. Too much.
3. When I was young I loved going to parades and having barbecues (blogger does not recognize barbeque as a word which is how i ALWAYS spell it. What?) and watching lame fireworks go off in the street. I think this is classic. I miss it. All of these things are very difficult where I live. 4th o' July might be when I miss the 'burbs the most. All i want is a backyard barbeq/cue.
4. This year we're packing the car and driving up to BOSTON! Beantown, Part II. What better place to celebrate your country? In... a city where lots of things happened many years ago. I'm excited. See you on the flip side.
and happy 4th!
Have so much fun celebrating independence! Remember me when walking around Boston. :)
ReplyDeletei make a cookie-cake every year, just bought the stuff at the store this morning. it's a cream-cheese sugar cookie crust, marshmallow cream and cream cheese frosting, with strawberries and blueberries arranged in the flag. it's awesome and SUPER delicious! have fun in boston!
