Driving through Pennsylvania and not stopping for fireworks the weekend of July 4th would be unpatriotic. So we stopped to browse the store and pick up some explosive goodies. Unfortunately the ones closest to the highway we were unable to get to because Pat was not in a place he could get off the highway. We had to get off the highway and sit in some traffic, not much but it was enough to make pat worried as we had to go 3 miles out of our way. The store had mostly everything we (read he) wanted. As i was wondering around the store I realized that I was VERY worried about all the explosives and the boys lighting them off. It reminded me of the photo the family took of everyone, with their fingers spread wide. You see Grandma was worried about the same thing and so the family took a photo after they were done to document that all fingers and toes were indeed intact, because that's how they roll.
I also have the fun of worrying about the Illegality of the explosives. yes i am a square, complete with perfect 90 degree angles, all sides equal. I hate doing stuff that is illegal (for the record buying them in PA is legal for out of staters only, legal for us). fireworks however are illegal to have and set off in most/all of the surrounding states including the one we came from and the one we were headed to. enough to give me something else to worry about.
Carma must be telling me that we did ok, as we were driving home we witnessed a town's grand finale. We got a mobile firework show to make the drive home oh so much nicer. They were beautiful and there were LOTS of them. I got to appreciate the show as i was the passenger. Pat was not as happy about the show, he said it was distracting. Seeing how many cars were driving slowly, the smarter ones had pulled over and the rest area was PACKED. whatever the equivalent of standing room only is for a parking lot.
Have a SAFE and fun 4th of July.
