i adore the 4th of july. it is my favorite and my best.
i love the ability the day has to pull communities together. outside the surge into festive, smiling crowds who smell like bbq and look like lady liberty exploded all over them.
me, i love it! but as with many things that one chooses as a favorite, there are so many opportunities for this most admired day to fall short. i like to claim to be easy to please, wanting only a few specific items to make my celebration complete. but even when all i ask for is something off the grill, a sparkler and the smell that lingers in the air after the grand finale, there is a lot of pressure.
this year, i spent the day in crested butte, co and they did not disappoint. it was perfection. small mountain town parade, water fight, music festival perfection and i was in holiday heaven.
