Serendipity
This is the third year that I’ve done this, but I always forget that driving down the freeway on July 4th is one of the more surreal experiences I’ve had on the road. It’s like driving through a gauntlet of colorful explosions. It’s even more fun if you make believe that it’s not July 4th, and everyone around is just so thrilled to see you that they spontaneously started shooting fireworks upon your arrival.
The only drawback is that staring at pyrotechnics in the sky isn’t exactly safe from behind the wheel of a car going full speed down a freeway. Either way, this is going on my list of accidentally found favorite things, right next to late night infomercials and guacamole.
