Fourth of July Fun

     The past 4th of Julys have always been celebrated at my house. We would have a big party with all of our closest friends with amazing food and glow sticks for the kids. Then around 9pm we would watch the beautiful fireworks, which could be seen right by our house. It was a lot of work hosting these parties because we would have to do all the cleaning, cooking, and entertaining. Not that I didn't enjoy these parties, but it's nice to take a break sometimes.
     So this year to change things up a bit, we decided to make a trip to Seaport Village, San Diego to watch the Big Bay boom where (I think 4) huge fireworks shows are going off at the same time all near to each other. It was definitely great to change things up as it was a beautiful experience. The fireworks were huge and so beautiful as well! We arrived at the park there around 6am and got our tent all set up and ready. It was said that Seaport village was expecting at least 70,000 people to be watching these fireworks. We were lucky enough to arrive early to get a perfect front row spot. Lol I also enjoyed seeing all the cute guys walking around the park too HAHAH.
     We left our stuff in the park and took a stroll to all the shops in Seaport Village. They have so many cute little shops like hat shops, soap opera shop, and a cute bookstore with all sorts of knick knacks. We even treated ourselves to some yummy Ben & Jerry's ice cream too. For dinner we walked to the Cheesecake Factory. It was my parent's first time and my second. It was so delicious! Cheesecake factory does not disappoint. However we were too full to order any cheesecake so we will definitely have to come back again! I ordered a scrumptious skinnylicious veggie burger with a side of sweet potato fries! It was amazing and I ate the whole thing HAHA.
    Around 9pm the fireworks started and all I heard around me were "oohs" and "aaahhs". It felt like I was a little kid again. It was honestly one of the best fourth of Julys that I ever celebrated.
