It's never too early to start planning your 4th of July festivities.
Smoov B is hopefully flying in to ATL sometime before the 4th for a bit of visiting. For the actual holiday weekend he rachew and I will be driving to Laurel MS to spend it at "Inn Over Our Heads" (That's the nickname of our parents' house all the cool kids are doing it). Anyone else that wants to experience fireworks on the lake is welcome to join us. Depending on how many takers we have (that is more than one) we might require an additional vehicle.

Matt what's your schedule like before the 4th? I was thinking of coming in some time in the middle of the week but I don't want to disrupt work etc.
Also I'm assuming Hartsfield-Jackson is the optimal airport.

Hartsfield-Jackson (ATL) is indeed the appropriate destination.
As for the week leading up to the 4th -- I have Friday July 3 off as a work holiday. I haven't made any plans for other vacation days but I will have enough hours to take off another day (maybe 2 depending on my other vacation plans for this year). If you wanted to come in Wednesday evening I could prolly take thursday off and then we'd head for MS on friday after breakfast / lunch / whenever.

Dude 4th of july is next weekend! Are you guys still going to IOOH? I'm down. Just let me know when you want to leave. I have friday off so I could leave sometime on thursday if you want to head out early. Who all is going? Just bill rach and matt so far?
Are you planning on buying fireworks? I think I'm starting to get old bc I don't feel like spending lots of moneys to blow stuff up this year. I'll chip in if you guys end up buying stuff though.

I have Friday off but I have to work all day Thursday so I won't be able to be down there until late Thursday. I think there's a big show over the lake so I don't really feel like spending money on stuff either. Sparklers and bottle rockets perhaps but nothing too big/expensive.

don't forget roman candles and snaps! Although those things would be way cooler if they also made the snapping noise when you lit them on fire. one of those cheap assortments you can find at any grocery store should have everything. :) Haha I remember the days when I was too good to buy those things: "Who buys these fireworks?!" i've become what I hate most! NOOO!!!!

apparently there is no big show at the lake but it's possible that various people living around the lake (including us?) will set some stuff off. i say we bring the trash bag of stuff that's been in our garage and see which ones still ignite :)
