So Splendid & So Patriotic

Do you read Hello Splendor?

Oh, you really should.

Beth Dotolo does such a great job pulling together

a great modern community of bloggers.

I loved getting to talk about my plans

for July 4th on her blog yesterday...

mainly because

I LOVE THE FOURTH OF JULY!

Though my plans are for Palm Beach this year,

I typically always celebrate this amazing holiday

in the same ways.

Making desserts that are red, white, or blue.

{baked goods are part of my patriotic duty}

Driving out to the country to shoot fireworks

{and laying around on the grass to watch the stars

when the fireworks are gone and laughing for hours}

And what would this Aspirational Kennedy's

Indpendence Day

be without a boat ride around the cape?

What are your plans for this July 4th?
