Last night we went to Red, White and Boom in downtown Columbus. We've lived in central Ohio for 15 years now and have never made it there, and now that the kids are getting older we thought we'd try. The weather was iffy - it rained all morning but cleared up (mostly) by late afternoon. We got there around 5:00 and parked in lot near the arena district. We were one of the first ones there - the lot was almost empty - and so Ben picked a spot by the entrance and backed in, so that we could get out quicker. The problem was, the entrance was on the opposite end as the exit, and we assumed the entrance was the exit. So it still took us a half hour to get out of the parking lot after the show.
All went well, and the fireworks were, in Maria's words, "Spectacular." We had two short, light rain showers while we were waiting for the fireworks, but we had umbrellas so we stayed dry. We got home around midnight, and the kids went straight to bed.
Today it's been raining all morning - a pretty depressing 4th of July. We are busy getting ready for our trip to Marathon Key - we have to meet the Hummels at the Columbus airport at 6:00 a.m. tomorrow. Ben's parents are visiting later and then staying the night before taking the kids back with them tomorrow.
