Really, the country was not truly born until March 4, 1789, when after the constitution was ratified, the new government was inaugurated.

However, nobody brought fireworks that day.

So we like to celebrate the Declaration, rather than the inauguration.

Of course the Declaration of Independence really was the gutsier of the two actions. Had the colonies failed in the endeavor, the Fourth of July would be just another day in the Empire, and the inauguration would have never happened.

As for what I am doing for the occasion, I am watering down the property, to make sure no stray rockets set my house afire.

My fiance's family has a BBQ / Family Reunion for the 4th every year. We'll be going to that tomorrow. Hopefully I'll also get to watch some fireworks somewhere! Hope you have a fun weekend!

Good luck! Make sure you keep the water hose handy, just in case!
