Well the last few days have been just getting ready for the trip and enjoying our time resting and relaxing together. It was nice to leave work early on Thursday and know that I will not have to return until a week from Monday. Then on Thursday night Bob and I went to the Electronics Door at the Nebraska Furniture Mart to ring bells for the Salvation Army. We rang from 6:00-9:00 and raised lots of money for the storm victims in Omaha.
The morning of the 4th we woke up to enjoy the day. We grilled some chicken and corn for lunch and played outside a bit. We then went to the Omaha Royals baseball game. The game was okay, except that the Royals are not a good team. After the game they had a band play while it got dark out and then fireworks show. I have never been that close to fireworks and they had some good music playing during it, like Clock by Coldplay, Revolution by The Beatles, and of course We're Coming to America by Niel Diamond. Those were some of the best fireworks I have ever seen. Well worth it. It took a while to drive back home b/c of the traffic and when we returned home and were trying to fall asleep at 12:30 our neighbors decided to shoot off fireworks. And not just little ones, big ones that were lighting up the bedroom and making huge noises. I was able to fall asleep but Bob was not.
Today Bob got his car taken care of so we are just down to two vehicles instead of 3. I went to get a haircut and now we are just getting packed up and ready to go to Cooperstown, New York City, Boston and Detroit starting tomorrow. We are both so excited.
Happy Be-lated Birthday America!
