Last year we visited Vicksburg, MS and watched as fireworks exploded above the Mississippi River.
Coincidentally, boats and water were involved in both of these 2 trips.
Likewise, both areas were equally crowded with tons of southerners coming out to enjoy the firework displays. Prior to the fireworks, Sophie and I spent some time on the beach, while Brian manipulated his way around traffic to procure us supper ... preferably before dark.
Once he did return, we spent our evening nearby the beach house deck, near the fireworks, but away from the crowds.
It was a good thing too. As soon as the fireworks started going off, Sophie was running into the house and the dog was barking. Nothing we could do would coax Sophie out to see the "pretty lights in the sky". Look hard and you can see both Sophie and Oscar safely inside behind the door.
Even inside, she stood prepared to evacuate the area at any moment with her hands and legs taunt ready for the unexpected. It was quite humorous for Brian and I (not so much for Sophie). So while it wasn't enjoyable for Sophie, Brian and I did enjoy the evening festivities together on the deck, with Sophie and Oscar nearby inside.
