Did anyone go last night? We did and had a great time! I guess the crowds were much smaller than usual. We found parking in Cambridge and walked up to the river at 8.30 pm. We found a decent spot, although there were trees in the way. The show was good, I love fireworks so much! The music was lame, I felt like it was kind of slow and I wish it was more up beat. At the end everyone seemed to be unsure if it was over or not! They lit fireworks off the Mass Ave bridge, which was just annoying as we had to turn our head to see them and that meant we never knew where to look! Very distracting. I wonder why they did that. The best part? We walked back to the car quickly and managed to get out if Cambridge with NO traffic. That was weird and awesome! I love that they were early this year. We were home by 11 pm!

I wish I had. That size crowd is about max for me, so I generally stay away. Instead, on someone's recommendation we stood on the bridge in Medford on Mystic Valley Parkway over the Mystic River ... "Oh, you'll have the best view of the fireworks there" they told me. OMG, after the first one we got back in the car and went home and watched the rest on tv.
