What are you doing for the Fourth of July? (Beacon: house, eat)

[Pivot Point]

Please share what your plans are for celebrating July 4th.

I'll start. I'll be going to a barbecue at a friend's house. It's an annual thing and a great time to catch up with folks I don't see too often. Afterward, watch the fireworks on TV--not as fun as in person, but beautiful anyway.

I plan to go to the Seven Lakes in New Jersey with my cousins. Then at night catch the fireworks. God Bless America!

When I was a kid, the people in the next block behind my house always had a huge 4th of July party (complete with fireworks). We'd have a BBQ in the back porch during the early evening and when it gets dark around 9 pm, we sit out there and watch the huge fireworks show they put on. They had enough to go for like 2 hours straight.

Fun times.

Going with a bunch of friends to another friends NJ lake house, drink, go on the boat, eat, etc. Fun!

If it doesn't rain, wax the cars since its been 3 months since I waxed them and watch the fireworks over at Memorial Park in Beacon.

Sounds good. You can go all out, especially if there's (hopefully) no work the next day for you.

if you want a cheap way to see the fireworks, ride the staten island ferry back n forth.
