happy july 3

the best way to celebrate the 4th of july with the boston pops is to go on the 3rd to their dress rehearsal. you get the whole show, minus the insane crowds and fireworks (which i hear you can't even see over the trees). so we went to the hatch shell, had a picnic, experienced a short downpour and enjoyed the music of the pops and rascal flats. happy july 3rd!
