As evening approached, we tried to decide the best strategy for navigating to and from the local fireworks, which though pretty, are always a mess to contend with.
We decided to head up the road a little bit and watch the fireworks in Hagerstown. As we got close, we realized that getting on the fairgrounds would probably be more trouble than it was worth, so we did what a lot of others had; parked in a shopping center nearby.
The four of us rolled out the blanket on the side of a hill outside the shopping center and kicked back to enjoy the show. It was spectacular. Not just the fireworks, but also the chance to just be the four of us.
