What is your favorite travel destination for July 4th weekend?

Slaughter Beach, Delaware. It's only a few miles from home and it has great fireworks over the Delaware Bay. I avoid long distance travel on the 4th of July weekend due to heavy traffic.Am blessed to have someplace beautiful to go that's nearby.

I love Lake Tahoe for the 4th of July. We've rented a cabin there a few times near Tahoe City. We head down to the lake and sit on the dock near Dollar Point.

From there you can watch the fireworks show on the North Shore, and you can also see the South Shore show on a clear night.

I will be snorkeling over the coral reef of Numfor island or watching the magnificent birds of paradise in the tropical rainforest of Arfak mountains.

Wow, beaches and snorkeling sound wonderful! Thanks for your responses. Paul, how long does the drive take?

I am considering lake Tahoe, but am a bit worried about traffic.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
