Walked down to sit on a bridge over the Grand River to watch the Grand Rapids fireworks being shot off next to the river. Great view!! We go down there every year.

One of Lee's clients has a house with a 320 degree view of San Diego. We saw shows from the Embarcadero to Sea World to Oside and LaJolla. I think there were about 7 going off at once.

I live in the Southbay area so I could see the Downtown, Coronado, Seaworld and the Bays Fireworks. It was great. Of course their were a couple of illegal fireworks been shot off where we were. There was a lot of people but everyone was in a chipper mood.
