This July 4th we actually celebrated on July 3rd and 5th, as Hurricane Arthur rolled up the coast and through Massachusetts on the fourth. The city of Boston rescheduled fireworks to the third, and didn't even play the traditional 1812 Overture as a conclusion, as a thunderstorm broke as the fireworks ended. I taught the morning of the fourth (international program!) and we headed to Cape Cod and into the storm. It was slow going, very wet, and extremely windy, but well worth the drive. We enjoyed a great weekend with friends and all the fireworks that were not lit on the fourth were shot off on the fifth. We watched on the lawn, overlooking a bay and we had a view of at least four towns. All the kids stayed up for the fireworks, though Vivian clung to me.
