Hi, I'm Alison, and you'll occasionally find me under the nom de plume of GlobalGiving, but today it's just me!
I didn't go anywhere for the weekend, but a friend from college was staying with me to spend the 4th in DC. We celebrated in style, as the earlier part of the day was hosted by my friends from New Zealand. They wanted to surround themselves with Americans to get the real feel of the holiday, and in turn they surrounded us with decorative stars, stripes and flags. We watched the fireworks near the Mall and avoided the rain. Great weekend all around!
