Fun on the Fourth

What: Go Fourth on the River. Music, food, boats, fireworks, and fun.

Where: Downtown, Riverfront, Quarter, Riverwalk.

What we did: Got seperated. Paul contacted Police, I borrowed a cell phone, called my Mom, who called Paul.

All was right with the world: When we enjoyed our Will’s FIRST firework display. A super-great fireworks show with music and “dual barges” sending off syncronized lights and explosions. Fun!

It sucked when: It took us 45 minutes to get out of the parking lot (now we know why so few people parked there.)

What we learned: Parking is no big deal on the Fourth, but consider how to leave when it’s over; crowds aren’t bad at all. And for heaven’s sake, pick a meeting spot before going out for beignets or bathroom breaks.
