My wife and I have a history of fireworks and the Fourth of July is her favorite holiday. We packed a picnic and went to the beach after an afternoon of swimming with the grandkids. Every time we see a fireworks show she tries to recall the memories and I remind her that I keep a log. We both agree that the Venetian Festival in Chicago was probably the most memorable display. Last night was our 47th in 21 years after the pandemic pause of 2020. Here is the list.
