4th of July LIC Style

It's  our first 4th in the city so we took advantage of the amazing view and had an Independence Day celebration. How fortunate that Macy's sets off their SIX barges right on the East River pretty much in front of our view. Pretty damn amazing. And yes, I know it's more than one photo...

In the morning- after some major car towing. Barricades set up and a no traffic zone enforced.

2:30 and the crowd is gathering

8:45 and the water barges show up.

First one- right off our deck!

Aftermath- not too bad considering the enormous crowd

Not my photo, but Google did a good job providing the image
