Madison has this HUGE fireworks festival called Rythm and Booms. They estimate around 200,000 people attend. We went the first year, we threw down a banket close enough that it rained ash on us the entire evening. But the crowds, and the stress trying to get out of the place, and being nervous anytime your kid is more than 5 feet from you.... just wasn't our style.
So now we sit across the lake at the Memorial Union at the UW.
We get there early. Get a decent table. Play games, eat ice cream, drink a little beer and read a lot. It's perfect for us. We watch the fireworks across the lake, and we have no problem whatsoever leaving. (the year we went down to the actual show we waited in line for almost 2 hours to catch a shuttle bus back to our car).
It was a good day all around.
