4th of July 2014

Fireworks! Boom!

 

Yes I know that as I am writing this it is actually the 6th of July but I do have an excuse. I was busy the 5th of July. Okay, yes, that was a very lame excuse but I still had one.

 

 

I do not live in St. Augustine but my grandparents have a house by the beach and we visit very often. Every year my family and I stay with them for the fourth. As beautiful as St. Augustine is, when a holiday like this comes around a lot of weirdos show up. Not total weirdos, but still very weird. The type of weird they were, was "'Murica" weird. They didn't seem like the people that just enjoy this holiday to be with family and have some fun in the summer weather. These people go all out. I saw many guys without shirts and girls who weren't wearing normal shirts. One girl was wearing a red bandana as a shirt. Let me just say this: Bandanas are not shirts!

 



View down St. George street

 

We went shopping down St. George street before the fireworks display. There are so many cute stores and I really wanted to buy everything. My brothers also really like the copious amounts of pirate stores down there as well. Out of all the shopping, though, there is one place that takes the cake, or should I say ice-cream. Kilwin's ice-cream is the best there is. I could eat there every day.

Sunset from the Bridge of Lions

 

After shopping and walking around downtown St. Augustine, we found a spot on the Bridge of Lions for the fireworks display. Since the best view was from the bridge, that was were everyone was. This was the time when I was around the previously mentioned weirdos. However, out of all the weirdos, there were two that rose above the others. Two guys were running the length of the bridge back and forth wearing American flags as capes and letters painted on their chests. One guys had a U and the other had an S. There was no A, so sadly it was just them, or as they would say, just us. Get it. Us. US. The two letters. Pretty good right. Maybe not. Okay I'll stop now. 

I took all 4 of these photos
