4th of July

The 4th of July is always one of our favorite holidays. We headed downtown very early in the morning. We walked around Gas Lamp (Uncle Will's), Seaport Village and Water Front Park. We ate lunch and enjoyed all the festivities. Both girls fell asleep and took naps in the strollers before playing at the park. Addison climbed up the vertical wall for the first time. We then walked all the way back to Uncle Will's to take a break inside. The girls hung out with Akane while Justin and Will grilled lunch. It was a nice afternoon. In the evening we walked to Broadway Pier for the fireworks. We were concerned we didn't have a good spot because it wasn't that busy. Turns out we had the perfect spot. The fireworks were as close as you could get without being on the barge ourselves. Alexa enjoyed the fireworks. She took a ton of photos and smiled the entire time. Addison was excited until they started. I believe she had instant sensory overload. She wanted to lay down and hide from the bright lights. We wasn't too upset but preferred to be in her safe spot. Overall it was a wonderful day. San Diego is finally feeling like our home. I am hoping it will stay that way for a long time.
