I walked with my kid to the nearest fireworks display, the Falls Church extravaganza. We set up on the roof of the nearby Metro parking garage and waited for the 9:20pm start. And waited. And waited some more. People were leaving at some point.
So we decided to relocate closer to our leave spot and see what happened. Finally, 50 minutes late, the fireworks started and it was great. There were lots of fireworks, probably even too many. The whole show took 40 minutes and people were leaving in the middle as they'd seen fireworks and had to get their kids home and to bed.
But we stayed for the finale, and then walked home. A few pics...

A shot from early on, when loads of people had their phones and tablets aimed to take photos.
One of my favorite shots
A really decent double
