I always love a day off to be with the family. The best way to celebrate America's independence is by getting out there and enjoying life. I love the feeling of patriotism in the air. Fireworks are always beautiful, but it?s great when people get creative in their celebrations! Plus, it's always nice to get out and enjoy the summer weather!
