I had the slickest 4th of July celebration this year. The family packed into a car, went down to the mall where the fireworks were going to be lit with hardly any traffic between, found a spot in a packed lot in less than fifteen minutes, and got out of the car just as the first fireworks hit the sky. We didn’t bother hiking the few yards to the main seating, which was just part of the parking lot anyway. We set up folding chairs and camera a little way from the car. That’s when I got these:
After the grand finale it took barely a minute and a half to pack it all up and shove it all into our car. We were backing up before most people made it to our part of the lot. Several cars were already lined up at the exit to our left but there was hardly anyone to our right. Only one car got ahead of us for a direct turn on a major artery. Then we kept passing exit after exit choked full of cars as we merrily went on our way home. From start to finish was barely over an hour. I love it.
