Happy 4th of July!

Jef and I went down to Auditorium Shores to watch the fireworks for the first time since living in Austin. We probably would have stayed home again this year, but my neice, Kayla, is in town for 2 weeks for a summer film program (more on that later).

The fireworks were awesome, and the Austin Symphony Orchestra performed for an hour or so beforehand and they sounded amazing (even from across the lake). And it honestly wasn't that much of a hassle getting downtown (or home afterwards), I'm not sure why we've been avoiding it for so long!
