Arriving Early for the Fireworks

It was a beautiful night to sit on Sombrero Beach in Marathon and
watch the fireworks display. We took our neighbor Marie and her nephew
who is visiting from France. It was the first time he had seen the
fireworks in America, and the first time we had been to the fireworks
in Marathon. It was a wonderful display, and a very friendly group of
local people, many of whom had been there all day for the parade, the
picnics and barbeques, and partying on the beach. It was a great way
to celebrate the 4th.

Looks like fun! We were kinda bummed about missing them because we left for Denali on the 4th. But then realized that there would be no nighttime for fireworks - nothing to miss in Fairbanks! Last night we were up, sitting outside until 1 am and it was still very light out.
