Watching the fireworks this July 4th was an hilarious attempt. On July 3rd we all thought we will go to San Francisco the next day to watch the fireworks. But then we have already been to the fireworks in San Francisco twice and usually the traffic will be shy of a stampede with people trying to get their cars out of the parking lots. So we thought we go to the Great America Parkway for the fireworks. Unfortunately the 101 traffice near Great America Pkwy was overloaded so much that they had to close the Great America Pkwy and Lawrence Expwy exits on both sides of 101. So with all the circus of going N and S on 101 we were only able to catch a few glimpses of the fireworks. The next day we found out that our own town, Livermore was hosting an Independence day celebrations and fireworks was included. It was scheduled to be held in a nearby park that was about 1 1/2 miles from our home and we enjoyed it with far fewer people than in San Francisco. Here are the pictures that I tried my best to capture before they vanished into air. Hope you all had a wonderful July 4th weekend holiday.
