4th of July 2008
This weekend we went to the 4th of July Festival and fireworks in San Jose.
We took the light rail down which was a huge mistake since after the fireworks everyone rushed to the station to take the train home and it wasn't much fun trying to get a stroller and squirming baby on a packed train. Next year we drive and pay for parking!
The festival was pretty good, we got our favorite smoothies that they seem to have at every festival around here and some pork on a stick which is always good.
The festival started getting really crowded in the evening, but we had a good spot to hang out and Maya ran around and danced to the music.
When the fireworks started we figured out why we had such a good spot to sit, you couldn't see the fireworks from where we were. So we moved as best we could but the place was completely packed. We were able to see the fireworks through the trees though. Unfortunately, Maya was not a fireworks fan. She freaked out a little and cried when there were big explosions. So we didn't see much of the fireworks after all.
