Oh girl, I loved hearing about where you grew up. It reminds me of a place I would visit every summer growing up (New Hampshire) and I always wished I lived there. I am a sucker for small coastal towns. Just beautiful. You painted a vivid picture and you’re right, it’s nice knowing your fam was the last to celebrate the fireworks in that town.

I am going to look up Swampscott. Was that really where you grew up?>

I think a new generation of memories started for Lily, Ben, and Evan last night. Even with the misfortunes that occurred we were able to have a magical night with the best fireworks in a long time. Beautiful weather, the amazing view, moonlight on the water, and fireworks . There are some more glow sticks that didn’t get used so we can put them aside for next year. Nothing like starting early. Reservations being taken for next year already.[and maybe the swings will be up by then]
Hope you have a sunny and warm week to make up for the rain of this past week.

What a lovely post. This just as easily could have been New Jersey as Massachusetts (the Victorian home sounds just like Cape May), and it took me back to my childhood visits to the shore. Maybe things weren’t all picture perfect, but our brains have a wonderful capacity to cast a rosy haze over things. Thanks for sharing!

I just loved this post! I would have loved to have grown up in an old Victorian home! Sigh…

Thanks for sharing! I really enjoyed reading it:)

absolutely lovely. I’ve always enjoyed this time of year… the smell of burnt firworks, sparklers, hot dogs, and just having fun.

Growing up we always went to a huge party at the same family’s house and now they’re divorced and they sold that property and I’m almost 30. Heh. Though it’s not the same, I can relate to that closure.
