Last night Jessica and I chose to go away from the crowds and hiked up to the summit of Mt. Josephine to watch the fireworks. We live about a mile or so from the trail so we took our mountain bikes and rode to the start of the trail then hiked up. We were a little concerned about the bugs, since the mosquitoes have been pretty bad this year. Indeed, the bugs were pretty bad on the hike up and the hike down, but while we were at the summit there was a nice breeze from the west so they weren't too bad while watching the fireworks. I just love the vantage point from the summit no matter what time of year, but it is extra cool to watch the fireworks from such a high viewpoint! It's interesting to be looking down at them instead of up. We had some nice moonlight to accompany the show and the moon illuminated the bay beautifully. I hope everyone had a fun and safe 4th of July!
