4th of July Weekend

Happy 4th of July in advance!

I will be down the shore in Stone Harbor, NJ until Monday night so I will leave you with this post for the holiday weekend.

Halloween's always a party and allows you to show your creative side, Thanksgiving is a close second, Christmas has a whole magical season devoted to it, and St. Patty's is a fun, blurry mess, but here are my reasons why the Fourth of July is the best holiday:

1.  Beautiful weather

Can't beat the summer sun! via 

2.  Day off! Can you say three- day weekend?

3.  Barbecues- I love my barbecued meats, hotdogs and chicken especially.  It just tastes better on the 4th too doesn't it?

Sorry if you're a vegetarian but this looks amazing to me via

4.  The shore- if your from the Philly area, the shore is the place to go for the 4th.  The traffic may be crazy but it's a small price to pay for a beautiful and relaxing 3 day weekend.  I can't wait to head down :)

Who else loves your first smell of the salty ocean when entering the island? via

Gotta go into town to eat/buy a t-shirt! via

5.  Being able to wear red, white, and blue without looking silly- I hate accidental r, w, and, b (I donno I feel weird) but love that you can do it for the 4th.  I'm cheesy like that.  

Try and tell I shouldn't rock this.  via

6.  Outdoor concerts and celebrations!- I love outdoor, festival-type concerts.  Philly has a really fun one on the parkway every year.  Earth, Wind, and Fire is coming this year among others..."September!"

City Hall on the 4th! via

Roots performing via

Last one, fireworks in the city are awesome via

7.  Fireworks, duh!

Baby you're a...via

8.  Good friends, good drinks, good food :)

Happy Independence Day everyone!
