The Fourth of July celebrations 2010

The Fourth of July celebrations got started early this year at Cattail Creek Country Club. My family has been attending this event for the past couple of years but this was my first time. We lucked out with what will probably be the last mild evening weather of the summer and the skies were perfectly clear for the fireworks. The ribs, hot dogs and cole slaw didn’t hurt either.

From the freezing blizzards in Maryland and Massachusetts we briefly escaped to an oasis of an island with perfect sunsets every evening. White sand, crystal clear blue water and deep orange skies are the perfect recipe for relaxation.

The Great “Snowpocalypse” of 2009 delayed our family vacation to Aruba by two excruciating days. Who’d have thought a mere 20 inches would delay flights. After many, many hours on hold we finally got an American Airlines agent who had the brilliant idea to route us through Boston. “Really lady, you don’t think it makes a little more sense to fly away from the storm.” Having grown up in the Hub I knew for sure that if it was this bad in DC then Boston would be a nightmare. However, as my wife can confirm, I’ve been wrong before. In the end it all worked out great. We took a freezing cold water taxi ride across the harbor, dined at the historic Durgin Park restaurant in Fanueil Hall and as a bonus we were treated to this amazing sunset/moonrise.
