Despite having a blog called “The SavvyBostonian,” it’s rare that I’m actually in Boston for July 4th. For six years, I went to a friend’s place up in Conway, New Hampshire and then last year I was galavanting around London. And yes, I do see the irony of being in London on July 4th. This year, all of that changed. With vacation time allocated to other trips, I found myself celebrating July 4th in Boston and then back to work the next day.
Holed up in my apartment all day working on a big project (more on that later!), I almost didn’t go out to celebrate. Luckily, at the last minute a friend called with an opportunity to come up on an incredible roof deck just steps from where I live. Let’s just say that it doesn’t get any better than a glass of sparking rose, good friends, a great view and live streaming the Boston Pops on someone’s iPhone w/ speakers while the fireworks went on. Check out my two videos from the event – originally shared via my savvybostonian Vine account – to see them for yourself!
