Fourth of July
It's a little late now, but happy Independence Day! Recent Independence Days haven't been all that exciting, so this year's was especially nice. It's good to have a way to celebrate that doesn't involve (1)painting my nails alternately red, white, and blue, or (2)posting a scrolling red white and blue "Happy Fourth of July!!" in my journal... *rolls eyes* :P
Jennifer and I left the house at 6:30 to watch the Peachtree, partly because neither of us had been to it before, and partly to support her friends, (Ethan and Matt), and my friend, (Vincent)-- all of whom were running. The weather was nice, and it felt good just being outside and walking around... plus, there were lots of enthusiastic people and cute dogs. :) Most of the time, I really like the city.
After the race, I tagged along with Jennifer and her friends. We spent an uneventful (but comfortable) afternoon at Ethan and Matt's apartment at Tech, being lazy and watching The West Wing on TV (what could be more American?). Then we headed over to Lenox to watch the fireworks.
photos.
included: some shots of runners and cute dogs, and fireworks pictures that turned out better than expected (though Ethan puts me to shame) :P
not included: a picture of a 50-something Tech alumnus who ran the Peachtree with two other alumni wearing fancy GT jerseys :)
oh, and for good measure:
:D
