For this fourth of July (aside from being Val’s birthday; happy birthday!), Beau, JoeEtta, Val and I hiked to one of the high points of Water Dog (where we ride bikes all the time) to see what we could see of the fireworks displays around the bay.
At first we thought the marine layer might prevent us from seeing much, but as the sun went down, the night cleared up pretty well. Foster City was the closest display to us, and was a good show. Redwood City timed their show so it began as Foster City’s ended, so we got two fairly close shows. We could see that there were many other shows, but none were close enough to really enjoy. Still, it was a good night, and crowd-free. The view from there is really nice, and it was a good way to celebrate the fourth, IMO.
