Best Places for a ‘Destination’ Independence Day
Thursday is Independence Day! There are lots of ways to celebrate the founding of the United States; the most familiar may be to watch a #parade and #fireworks. For a “destination” Fourth, however, Lonely Planet suggests Mount Rushmore, where reenactors portraying George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt hobnob with tourists. Colonial Williamsburg is another good destination, offering #historic re-creations and #patriotic sing-a-longs. For big parades and fireworks displays, head directly to New York, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., or Addison, Texas. #FourthOfJuly #IndependenceDay
