Happy Fourth of July!

Robert and I spent the Fourth of July at The Marietta Square, as the city celebrates being named an All American City. The day started with a car wash and Tacoma (our little boy) being adorned with the proper Fourth of July attire. (Now, don't go thinkin' that bows are for little girls only!)

The parade itself was moving (no pun intended) as flags were passed out to parade goers who subsequently proudly waved them on cue. From the youngest to the oldest - all appeared to be equally 'Proud to be an American'.

The fabulous Fried Flamingo Queens once again took home the Fantasy Award for their wonderful float and outrageous, fun outfits. They continued to delight children and adults alike as they passed out flamingo fans, sequined tiaras & flamingo sunglasses and posed for pictures.

We set up our own little area complete with beach towels, cooler and lawn chairs to take in the music with our friends Bobby and Cheryl. We watched three guys with guitars (not their band name, but don't know that either) and then the Cobb Symphony Orchestra.

By the time the evening's feature attraction - Little Big Town -came on, we decided that it was much too crowded to stick around. And it was at that point 12 hours after we first arrived that we left, missing the fireworks, but coming home to a nice refreshing shower.
