I walked down a few blocks from my house to watch DC's fireworks from a hill looking over the city. If you haven't seen DC's 4th of July fireworks, it's well worth the trip. I can't imagine many places that have a better show (not to mention the backdrop of our monuments). The hill I was watching from was a like a crazy street festival. I liked these pics. The fireworks are right in the middle...with smoke covering part of them as it came our way.
