Here are some of my Jersey Shore 4th of July childhood memories:
Giant bonfires on the beach
Paper dresses that we painted with patriotic motifs (which luckily never caught on fire)
Sparklers
Hotdogs
Burnt marshmallows
Fresca
Fireworks over the ocean
Firecrackers going off in my hand
Worrying that my hand was going to feel numb for the rest of my life
Stepping on pointy sparkler ends in the dark in the sand
Not wanting to go home
Lying in bed, unable to sleep, listening to fireworks, music, the ocean....
Looking for fireworks cartridges on the beach on July 5th, like a treasure hunt
