Seeing D.C.'s Favorite Fireworks Show
"I think the biggest tip when considering a massive event like this is simple: manage your expectations. If you expect it to be a breeze, you'll be disappointed/frustrated/upset. If you anticipate the crowds -- and take your time -- bring plenty of water and snacks, a book or two to pass the time -- it'll be quite inconvenient and time-consuming to be sure, but not much else." -- Posted by Fodor's member PennStateMarkPrevious: Catch a minor-league game
