tonight was my first Christmas fireworks at the beach. It was a fun night.. My buddy Casey came over and we made a pitcher...er, bowl... of caipirinhas - (recipe coming soon), filled em in thermoses and put em in backpacks with some sandwiches and rode our bikes down the beach to the pier. It was packed, but still easy to get around and find a place and plant ourselves at the beach and watch em launch the fireworks over the pier. While it was no 'Young Country Christmas Fireworks to Music' (sigh...those were the best ever!), it was still a fun new tradition. Next year, join me!
