Fireworks on the Manhattan Skyline

Ah, I usually don't have plans for 4th of July. So, why not go see the fireworks with some good friends? I asked a few friends (many college friends) to come up and join me! So we all met around 7 in Hoboken for dinner at Tutta Pasta (my fave!!) Ralph and I went from home and joined Kristin, Lisette, and Cindy (also from south jersey). We had a great dinner. Luckily, I found a great place to watch the fireworks from Frank Sinatra Drive - so we walked down. The weather was changing from sunny to rain drops. We were able to sit and watch the fireworks. We unfortunately only saw a few - since they shot them off from the East river, a cloud appeared behind the fireworks, completely covering them from our view. Oh well. It was a nice view of the skyline. I think they ended the show early (at least it seemed) because the weather was getting a little icky. Afterwards, we went for some snacks at a bar/casual restaurant. I got some dessert. A good time was had by all!

Note: I was having trouble with blurriness in these pictures . Sorry. But, my troubles inspired me to figure out some good low light settings with or without flash on my camera. Other lowlight shots in future posts are much more clear! Yay for progress!
