Happy Birthday, America! It’s that time of the year when we stop and celebrate this wonderful country that we are privileged to call home. Cities across the USA host elaborate birthday parties complete with everyone’s favorites…fireworks! The Austin area is no exception. So, to help with your planning, I thought I would offer some links to area firework displays. Grab your blankets, a picnic, and your family and get ready to “ooh” and “aah.”
