July 4, 2012
It started with a trip to Stricker's Grove then we wound up blowing up watermelons at someone's family reunion before we found our way to The Anchor.
I haven't really had the 4th of July off in years. The past seven summers I've usually spent America's birthday sweating in a crowded amusement park working as what felt like a glorified "carnie" sometimes. So what do I do when I have the fourth of July off? I got to an amusement park.
Mainly for the food though... and the skeeball... and cause it's on the way to a firework's store.

After purchasing ingredients for the "Elixir of Patriotism," (fireworks and beer), Ryan Texas Ranger brought Matt and I to his friend's family reunion where they were initially suspicious of us then welcomed us with open arms to their homemade fireworks show.

We ended the day within the nautical themed walls of The Anchor in Covington.
