U.S.A National Day

(Travel Period : 28th June - 5th July 2009)

United States Independence Day , 4th of July. Lucky us - get to join the celebration with other New Yorkers on this special day, the National Day of U.S. Like every other countries, firework is a must on this great festive, commonly associated with other activities like dinner, barbecues, picnics, carnivals, concerts, baseball games, speeches and etc etc. Unlike every other year, the fireworks are no longer held in Manhattan city - instead along the Hudson River, make a better view, superB grand fireworks compare to any other years, and one said its because Obama is the new president year 2009. Polices can be spot every 100m along Hudson River, including Airforces.
Most people started "camping" along the piers from noon till night - first come first serve - they've got the best view. Danbo and I went late evening - not perfect but good view too. Not the best pictures we've got because we were unable to set tripod - pictures are not perfect but good enough to keep as memories. We locate ourselves at Pier street 56, waiting impatiently . . .
Everyone waited so impatiently for the fireworks, not until 8:20pm, fireworks started ! Along Hudson River, 5 different places along the river. The fireworks set at Jersey City, the opposite site of Manhattan.

The fireworks were awesome ! ! !
The best fireworks I've seen so far ! ! !
(after Disneyworld, Orlando hehe).

Our favorite - Firefly. Moves and flies.

Such a perfect day and wonderful night, we ended at TGI Fridays for dinner.

Our 5th day in New York City. End.

Next up Niagara Falls, Buffalo, New York States.
