We got up early to watch the start of the Tour de France with Dean and eat breakfast. We have learned that the 4th is primarily about eating. To continue the bike theme, Eric came to get us to take the Schwinns down to the waterfront for a rally.
The Spar is where it all started, right in the heart of the action where even the roads are closed off. I thought my patriotic nail polish would be pretty 'way out there.' I was wrong. (check out the guy on the right)
I like people who dress for the occasion.
The show stealer for the rally...
To add to the perfection, there was a car rally on the waterfront. Man I love the US of A!
Tony got to live out a boyhood dream
After all of this excitement in 30 degree heat, we were wilting. Beer, icecream floats, chips and fry-up alone do not a happy belly make! So we went home to cool off, watch Sponge Bob and get ready for round 2.
Dean, Heidi and the kids came round ready to go to the evening's entertainment. We figured we could blame the flag on Talon ;) Whilst they were here, Sponge Bob was found to have a strange hypnotic effect on small boys...
And we spent the rest of the evening eating, drinking and making merry. Note for next year, spent bottle rockets are not to be put in the fire.
We got to see the fireworks from a balcony with panoramic views. The big firework is the Tacoma one then you can see 3 other displays in the distance. The small lights are boats on the water.
That's a wrap.

We were told that we'd be shocked by the behaviour and crowds at the waterfront. It has nothing on the Bigg Market on a Friday night! Bring on next year.
