Sounds like a happy outing. Good for you and your family.:)
As for me, I heard a lot of fireworks, but no anthems -- we've come to celebrate the spirit of independence day like we've come to celebrate the spirit of Christmas. Slightly, if at all.

Agreed, though Chanukah is the winter celebration in our house. Since moving back to the DC area, I always feel like the right place to be on 7/4 is at the National Archives Documents of Freedom exhibit, but with two kids <=3 yrs, it's not worth it. Just wait until they get older though: All the free culture/science they can stand courtesy of the Smithsonian Institute.
but often it happens you know / that the things you don't trust are the ones you need most....
