Mr. Kinsley Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 6th: watch the red sox beat the yanks and drink bad wine. It's a holiday weekend - splurge and get some wine that's at the very least mediocre. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jenbobblehead Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I plan on eating my weight in fresh corn and cantaloupes. napping in the back of the car. Maybe a swim in the Chowan, probably some tickling of my nephew, some teasing of my father in law and some weeding of Grandma's garden. Plus a trip to the Russell Stover outlet on Sunday and perhaps a swing by one of the peanut places to load up on the butter toffee peanuts for the office. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

alison the wilca Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 my company gives me the 3rd and 4th off so i have four days to do relatively nothing. I'll be going to see Wall-E, maybe going to Superdawg since it isn't far from the theater. Also- Green City Market! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wilco Worshipper Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th...working And since most of the local restaurants are closing for the next two weeks and we are right next to a few campgrounds, I'm thinking we are going to be PRETTY DARN busy!!! Hopefully, getting out in time for fireworks...some night, somewhere *fingers crossed* The 4th falling on a long weekend is throwing my celebrations out the door probably for the next 3-4 years...*sigh* EDIT: Oh, and I saw Wall-E today with my girls Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gogo Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 My sister and the kids and a bunch of us will be doing this. Since about half the crowd is severely claustrophobic, it should be great fun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Since about half the crowd is severely claustrophobic, it should be great fun. we had something like that in STL when I was growing up. It was at the Magic House and it was called The Touch Tunnel - what an unfortunate name. My friends and I loved it....my parents? not so much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mountain bed Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 No better place than DC on the Fourth!!Quoted for truth. I've been in DC twice on the 4th and it was beyond awesome. This year: drink cold beer until I go insane. That is all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
