Thick fog, warm sweaters, and often a winter coat tend accompany any 4th of July celebration in SF. Not so this year. We trekked over to the City (Melina’s first trip across the bridge) for Cia and Vito’s rooftop celebration in the Mission, and were happy that the East Bay sunshine followed us.
It was great to get out and socialize. Melina slept through most the night, despite music playing, people gabbing, and fireworks going off at every turn (some of them by Vito himself, from the roof…) I’ve read that when babies feel over-stimulated they often just shut down and go to sleep. I’m pretty sure that’s what happened with the Jelly Bean. Of course she also enjoyed the company of new friends. Look at Auntie Jennie holding her!
Btw, the illegal fireworks going off in the Mission and all around us were much more impressive than the “official” show over the Bay. And here I thought illegal fireworks were the small, backyard variety my dad always bought and set off in the middle of the street throughout my suburban childhood…
