Daily dose of Americana

Given that yesterday was the fourth of July I thought it was appropriate to write an entry since my time here in the good ole USA is about up. This fourth was unlike any other that I've ever had before. Partly because of my up coming voyage and partly because of the events over the last couple of days. It was everything that is great about this country; the friends, the family, the cookouts, the random people that you meet along the way. It is at these moments that you take a step back and realize what this holiday really represents. Luckily for me I got to get one more taste of Americana before I leave. On a side note I want to give a shout out to my grandparents Mickey & Dixie, this weekend our family got together to celebrate their 50th anniversary. I just want to say that your love for each other is undoubtedly an inspiration to everyone you have touched and I am so glad to have both of you in my life. Love y'all and Happy 50th Anniversary.
