Where To Celebrate & How To Get There!

Happy Fourth of July! We have once again arrived to a day of many pastimes. Eating watermelon, something off the grill, fighting bees, shooing flies and watching fireworks? Hopefully. For an open lover of things that sparkle lifting my head to the sky to watch the entire thing sparkle, sigh, is really satisfying.

So where can you go AND how can you get there?
