4th of July plans

anyone doing anything fun for the 4th?

Re: 4th of July plans

  • hanging out with DH not doing a thing (other than perhaps watching fireworks from a distance)! I consider that to be a lot of fun!
  • Taking Schuyler to camp and then the Braves game.
  • My parents are going to be here!!! We'll probably cook out and then go watch fireworks. I'm so excited to see them!
  • I'm flying to Philly tomorrow to help move my grandmother to an assisted living facilty.  She doesn't want to move, it's not going to be fun.  I fly home on the 4th so I'll spend most the day in the airport.  Then I'll have to try not to kill myself as I drive home around 9:30pm when there are likely to be fireworks going off that I'll want to watch while I drive!  =)

  • MrBAMF is running the Peachtree - aiming for a sub 45min time (he can DO IT!) and then I was hoping we'd do Centennial Park this year. We never go anywhere to watch fireworks and I think it would be fun to do so at least 1x! We can walk to my work from there so its not like we'll need to find parking.

  • My parents are coming down tomorrow and staying until Tuesday :) Hoping for lots of eating out, pool/beach time and maybe some fireworks.
  • We are having a 30th b-day party for DH on the 3rd so I'm sure he will be pretty hungover on the 4th, not sure what I will do though.

  • We are grilling out with my family Saturday night. Otherwise lots of pool time and just relaxing. We've been on the go SO much the past few months that we really want a 3 day weekend of doing nothing.
  • My mom, sister & niece (and maybe my dad) are coming to visit DH & I!  It's the first company we've had as a married couple!  Then we're heading to ATL to have a cookout on the 4th with my cousin, aunt & uncle!  So excited!!
  • no clue yet....hopefully grilling some, and maybe going down to the river for my former station's big fireworks show.
  • DH and I are going to his parents house Sunday and Monday they live on a lake so that should be awesome!

    The rest of the weekend Friday to Saturday I am FREE to do whatever I want. I am so excited.

  • I'm not sure yet.  I do know that I'll be coming back there for the weekend, but since it's our first 4th there in GA, I would love any advice/suggestion on what to do!  We're staying in a hotel in Griffin (that's where BF works and it's our temp housing for now) but are open to hearing what there is to do (even downtown ATL)!

    I had to do this about a year ago, so I understand. It's hard to remeber sometimes that you just have to do what's best for them no matter what their whiny "I don't want to be here" complaints are. You are def in my thoughts and prayers.

  • Saturday, DH will be helping a friend clean out his garage and I may or may not go along to visit with his wife. Otherwise, it's a big fat weekend of nada.
  • We are planning to hangout in our new hometown for the 4th.

    Starting the day off with some pool time then DH will be in the 3lb hamburger eating contest. Then din din in downtown Delray (for me and friends atleast, I'm assuming DH might not be too hungry). Then fireworks over the ocean.

    Thank you so much.  It's been a rough few weeks as she refuses to throw anything out (even though the woman has never had a sentimental bone in her body and has always thrown everything out!).  My poor mom has been in NJ since Memorial Day and it's really starting to wear on her.  My grandmother cries numerous times a day and tells my mom that she prays every night that she won't wake up in the morning.

    I think she'll really enjoy the place once she gets there but it's the getting there part that's hard.  She spends so much time alone now and that won't be the case when she has common areas to go visit in.  Plus, she loves bingo and they play 6 days a week!  She'll be fine!!!!

  • I am going up to our family cabin in North GA and then playing on the lake all day on Saturday! I am so looking forward to this weekend spending time with family. I am also thrilled to have Monday off next week!
  • No plans...racing my bike on Saturday. Probably group bike rides Sat. and Sunday. I'm not speaking to DH right now, so he's on his own.
  • I am taking a half day tomorrow and going to Charleston for the rest of the weekend!!  I need a vacation like nobody's business!!

  • Flying to DC later this evening. Meeting with PCErs at a DC gtg tomorrow, and dinner at my IL's. July 4th a parade comes down my inlaws street then flying back to ATL in the evening.
