Happy Birthday USA, fireworks, free concert in Nashville

1. I still cry when I hear our National Anthem. So much of the hurt from living in Europe has worn off with time, but I'm glad that being back in the States hasn't lost its wonder for me.
   
   
2. The fireworks in Nashville were incredible, as usual. The weather was cooler than last year, too, so that was nice. I love watching fireworks to live orchestra music, and we had a great spot to see everything.
   
   
3. The girls enjoyed the concert before the fireworks, too. This year they got to see Taylor Swift and Rodney Adkins.
