We also took the dog. Max was kind of freaking out at home with all the explosions outside, so we decided to pack him up as well. He was well behaved, more interested in other dogs and people milling around than the show.
Kyra got to stand up in the back seat to see the fireworks, and Marcia kind of curled up in the passenger seat. It was a nice summer evening and we had a good time.
It was even Marcia's idea to take the convertible! What a surprise! A couple of weekends ago, just the two of us were going out for a quick bite and a beer and she pitched a fit about having to ride in the Eldorado. It took a 1/2 hour of cajoling to get her into the car to drive about 2 miles.
Here is a cellphone photo of Kyra, Marcia and Max going to see the fireworks.
