Well, we should have just stayed home. Instead, we decided to go up to The Woodlands and brave the crowds to see the fireworks. The fireworks were to start at 9:15. We thought we would leave the house around 4 and see what we could find once we got there. What we found was that NOTHING was going on until 6:00. So we grabbed something to eat and then went to the mall (that was closing). After the mall we figured it would be a good time to find a spot to set our chairs to watch the fireworks. We found a nice spot that wasn't too crowded but was still in the main area (There was a stage with live music and food vendors etc.) So we sit and people watch as the area around us is filling in with families and couples. All the kids around were getting tired of waiting for the fireworks and the excitement was building. And alas, they start! But wait! We can only see HALF of the display! The rest is behind a building! Yeah, we were very disappointed! We had heard some people earlier in the day say that the display was going to be in a different spot this year; well hopefully it's in a different spot NEXT year. We stayed for the whole show and spent an hour in the car coming home. Once we got home we sat out on the porch and watched all the neighbors set off their own fireworks...some of which were better than the ones we saw anyway. Had we gotten on the roof like we had though of before we certainly would have been able to see the whole neighborhoods fireworks. So...we should have just stayed home and sat on the roof. Now we know. I will post some pictures when I get them loaded on the computer.
