Our nation's Independence Day is here! You probably get the day off work and you are looking for how to best celebrate the 4th, so I have some tips as to how to best do that.

Morning

The morning of the 4th is best spent either catching up on some rest and sleeping in or heading out to the nearest town's fourth of july parade. The largest parade is in Washington D.C.

Lunch

Have a nice relaxing lunch to prepare for the rest of your day. After Lunch tune in to the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest and watch grown men and women throw down over 60 hot dogs in 12 minutes. While watching, be glad it is them and not you up there inhaling all those hot dogs!

Afternoon

The afternoon is a great time for you and some of your family to go to the nearest park and soak up some of the nice summer sunshine. I would suggest tossing a baseball around, or going for a swim.

Evening

Time to bring out the grills and have a cookout! It wouldn't be the 4th without some grilled out hamburgers or hot dogs and some potato chips and cookies.

Dusk

Fireworks time! Find the nearest fireworks display and take yourself and your family down to enjoy the festivities. Nothing says Independence Day like a brilliant fireworks display!

Most of all have a terrific and safe 4th of July and celebrate our country's freedom!
