This year Independence Day fell on a Wednesday and it was nice to have a day off midweek with my hubby. This was the first time we decided not to host and I was a little sad about it, but the rational side of me knew it was for the better. I would probably end up too tired to enjoy it anyway so I'm glad we opted for a quiet night in. With that in mind, we decided to make yummy dinner worthy of 'date night' and enjoy the fireworks all by ourselves. I must admit....it was awesome.
We prepped for dinner early, watched 21 Jump Street (funny movie -thanks for the recommendation Ev), fixed dinner and then watched another year of amazing fireworks off our balcony.
Trader Joe's blue cheese dressing, red onions, baby tomatoes, iceberg lettuce wedge, blue cheese and bacon bits.
