Happy 4th of July!!

Happy 4th of July from Juneau!


Because the days in the summertime are so long, we have to watch our fireworks a little bit early. We get ready on July 3rd and wait until midnight approaches. At 11:59 PM, the fireworks are launched from a barge in the Gastineau Channel! We watched them from our friend Van's sailboat again this year.

Jonny and I wait anxiously for the show to start!


Van steers the boat.


The beautiful city lights reflect off the water.





Fireworks!




The best thing about watching the fireworks is experiencing the reverberations bouncing powerfully off the mountains. All of Juneau gathers, lining the shoreline of Douglas Island and all of downtown Juneau. Bonfires light up the night, and you can hear excited cheers from across the water as over 30,000 people celebrate together as one.

If you'd like to see a little bit of the show, just click HERE!

Hope yours was as good as ours!
