Happy Friday everyone, and happy independence day weekend! I hope everyone has fun and exciting plans with friends and loved ones. I know the beaches will be packed, bars and restaurants will be overflowing and of course tons and tons of cookouts. By the way, if you're having a cookout it may help to check out 2 of my previous blogs on games and food for cookouts! But after all the celebrating most will be looking for places to watch fireworks! Look no further. I have a list of great fireworks displays for you to check out!
