2011 Independence Day



For this year's Independence Day, Jessica, Lucie, and I went up to Jacksonville. We went to Crazy Sushi for dinner. It's our favorite sushi place. They have good/fresh sushi and a reasonable price.
A few years ago, we planted some trees in the backyard. The lychee tree didn't make it (probably too cold). But the pear tree and the fig tree grew pretty well. We were able to get some fruits from them. Nice!
We spent the 4th of July morning in Jacksonville. Every year the neighborhood sets up a parade. There would be people riding their cars, bikes, lawn mowers, and some homemade floats. They also got the firefighters to bring their trucks.
After lunch we drove back home. On the way, we went through Gainesville. We got to see the dorm where Jessica spent her freshman year. We also drove by the new Kappa Sigma house.
In the evening we went to my office to watch the fireworks. It had a good view of the bridge where they shot the fireworks. A lot of my coworkers also came to watch.
