Erik's trip to Boston, New York City, Philadelphia, Washington, DC, and Baltimore June and July, 2014
July 4 Friday — Fireworks!
Day 17
After baking in the sun at the parade, Erik, Grandpa Arthur, and Grandma Martha walked down the mall to secure a good fireworks viewing place under the Washington Monument. While Arthur and Erik cooled off in the shade, Grandma Martha saved a spot out in the open for the fireworks viewing. She was also stupid, and didn't put on sunscreen, so she ended up with a bad sunburn.

In the afternoon we were joined by Grandpa John and by Uncle Ben, Tia Mia, and cousin Aron who drove down from Philadelphia.
