The Fourth of July

This year, I persuaded my parents to go with me to Longwood Gardens for their 4th of July Fountains and Fireworks celebration. The show is glorious, and if you ever have the chance to go, you should seize it. The Phoenix and the Basilisk: at the beginning of the new Longwood Children's Garden.

If you look carefully, you can see the grapefruit growing on the tree behind Dad and Mom.

The Longwood Conservatory Ballroom.

Of course, such a beautiful room calls for dancing...

Waiting out the rain...The music of Glenn Miller, Frank Loesser, Duke Ellington, etc. all timed to fireworks and fountains. It was worth it!
