Tonight Matt and I went to the fireworks at Pearl Harbor. We went to the pier that his sub is parked at. There were very few people there, which we both like, and we found great seats at the end of the pier directly across the water from the barge where they were launching the fireworks. We had the best seats in the house. From where we were sitting, not only could we see the Pearl Harbor fireworks, but if we looked to our right, we could also see the fireworks from Hickham Air Force Base, which is adjacent to Pearl Harbor.
We were so close to the fireworks that the "big boomers" filled our entire field of vision. To see all of those we had to physically move our heads. It was also fun getting to see the duds and misfires. We were treated to a good show, and one can't help during the show to think about how lucky you are to be watching it in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. I was impressed and I feel patriotic now. It makes Matt's leaving tomorrow morning for 5 days a little less bad.
