no way in H.E. double hockey sticks or on God's green earth am I going to the city on that day. The Custis and Mount Vernon is going to be packed with walkers not paying attention.
People are going to be like sardines walking around.
I always bike to the river for the 4th and bike back because on big event days that is the best but this is just going to be too much for me. I think I will go to whole foods that day and get some salmon to do the winter grilling...
