Fourth of July
07.04.2010
On July 4th I had to work. From noon until 6 I was in the office doing lock outs, making room cards, and watching Hulu. I made a few trips around campus visiting the BBQs of different camps that are here this summer, since I knew most of the RAs.
After work, my and my boyfriend made dinner - pasta! - and we, along with a few friends, drove down to the St. Louis Arch to watch the fireworks.
I've heard that the July 4th celebration in St. Louis was big. I didn't imagine the amount of people who would be downtown though. St. Louis as a city isn't what I am used to as a city. The times that I have been downtown, there hasn't been huge crowds - unless a Cardinals game was ending. But that day, the city poured in.
After finding a place to park, we walked down to the park and the arch. Along the way there were concession stands, families gathering, and picnics. Right below the arch was a huge concert by the B52s. The place was packed! It was pretty cool actually to just be around everyone! We went around the concert and found a stop at the top of the steps that go down to the river.
The fireworks were great. They fire them off a barge in the middle of the Mississippi Rover. We had a great view right in front of the Arch and it was beautiful. I was so happy to share this with friends and of course, my boy =) Happy 4th of July
Ah and later that night? Sonic Run!
