4th of july

marin county fair

^^ gravitron! ^^

(not it's real name, but that's what i know it as from the 49th street galleria...anyone remember that place? 

^ the ride that lasted about 3 minutes too long ^^

^on the ferris wheel^

i had to work on the 4th (living the american dream, amirite?), but this ^^ was waiting for me at home, and suddenly i didn't care about working, cause my husband is the best
 plus i got off early enough to hit the pool for a bit

then we grabbed some dinner

caught a flick

and tried (mostly unsuccessfully) to catch a glimpse of some fireworks 

still pretty bummed that i didn't make it to any parades here, but overall it was a great independence day!

and thank you to all those (ahem, grandpa & brother) who fight for our freedom!
oh - and one star spangled cutie, just to make your day better!
