If you haven’t ever experienced 4th of July on West Lake,  put it on your “todo” list.

We loaded The Man’s boat with  and found our spot easily. The Kid had another 6-year-old friend with her who had never been on a boat. I was excited to watch the fireworks with them, since I get to experience the magic through their eyes. We had 2 other couples with us and settled in with a beer and blankets.

At 10pm, all the boats set their radio dial to the station sponsering the fireworks. Music and fireworks seemed perfectly synchronized and we enjoyed Lee Greenwood (God Bless the USA), Neil Diamond (Coming to America), Louis Armstrong (Its a wonderful world), Ray Charles (America) and Elvis Presley (Glory, Glory Halleluliah), among others. I have seen the 4th of  July fireworks show for 10 years and I believe this was the best one yet!

Definately an experience I recommend to everyone!
