The first day of the Republic and we embraced it in style - flag waving, fireworks and fab company on the ski slopes of Wintergreen. We went bedecked with stars and stripes jewels and as it got darker, rave-style luminous red, white and blue wrist bands, as well as tattoos! All thanks to Ameigh.
There was great music and J took to the stage bopping to wild and familiar tunes - The Clash, 'Walk the Line' and 'Sweet Home Alabama' amongst the mix. Back on our rug we saw an immense red moon rise, stood for the 'Star Spangled Banner' and lay back as the fireworks began, booms and blasts ricocheting across the valley.
In the afternoon we'd hit the ski lift for a turn or two or three around the slopes. In the accompanying festivities were rescue dogs up for adoption. The girls and I spotted our new baby... but knew we had to make do with some tummy tickling.
