It’d be YEARS since I’ve seen the DC fireworks in person. We braved the mobs of people and checked out the show. We didn’t go to the National Mall but watched from a lawn overlooking the city so we avoided the complete crush that I’m sure was at the Memorials. We couldn’t have picked a better view and, besides the main fireworks, we were afforded a glimpse of multiple firework displays in the distance and on the horizon.
The weather was perfect ~ cool but not cold, low humidity and clear skies.
Looking out to the Washington Monument and Capitol Building (notice the helicopter flying low)
It was a spectacular display of fireworks. They even had one part which spelled out USA.
We’re already planning next year’s adventure ~ we might even brave the crowds and see the fireworks from the Lincoln Memorial!
