I started to compose this post yesterday (7/4/10) with the intentions of coming back and finishing after I watched the Magic Kingdom fireworks, for free, from a very close by development, Very close to the Summerport Publix. We can see the fireworks from our back yard, but we are about 4 fours away. The location I have found is roughly a half mile from Reams Road and then the fireworks are about the same distance from Reams.

Last year we watched the fireworks from a field near the 429 entry ramp from New Independence Blvd (maybe Way). Here we were pretty much the only non-BIG pick up truck driving families there. Both locations had us watching the entire show instead of having to move our head from a blast here to one over there. Neither location has piped in sound. Though you can feel the concussion at either location, the 429 location is roughly 4 to 5 miles away. The residential location is where you see the firework explode and then instantly hear/feel the concussion.

Some of my other favorite 4th of July fireworks memories are (and always with family and or friends):
Near the USMC Memorial in Arlington, VA.

The rededication of the Statue of Liberty in NYC.

St. Pete Beach, FL.

Steamboat Springs, CO.

Taipei, Taiwan.

But, of all those places, the best place I like to be on the 4th is wherever I am with friends and family enjoying the same experience.
