We are blown away that this week is already Fourth of July! This summer is already flying by as we add new client projects each week, keeping us our favorite kind of busy. Our team has worked hard this year, so our showroom will be closed on Thursday and Friday to celebrate the holiday with our families, friends and hopefully lots of sunshine. What will be doing those days, you ask? Well we are happy to share our secrets to having a wonderful Fourth, including entertainment ideas, go-to recipes and where we will be watching the fireworks.
ST. CROIX CRUISING
Fourth of July is one of Amy’s favorite holidays, filled with traditions. She and her husband, Tad, will be celebrating on their boat with friends on the St. Croix River. They begin the day dressing their dinghy boat in the most patriotic fashion for a dinghy boat parade. Afterwards they will watch the small town parade in Afton, MN and then anchor their boats alongside friends’ boats for a long day of fun in the sun. As a natural entertainer, Amy likes to bring along themed hors d’oeuvres to share with everyone, such as this light and tasty watermelon strawberry caprese salad and red, white and blue sangria. They’ll watch Stillwater’s fireworks showcase on the water to wrap up the day.
WAY UP NORTH
Danielle’s birthday is on July 3 and for this year’s milestone celebration, she and her family of five are adventuring to the Apostle Islands in Wisconsin to island hop across the “sea” and through caves in kayaks. Her crew will camp through the islands, braving the elements with what fits in their backpacks. We wish her the best of luck and cannot wait to hear about their adventure and all they explored when she returns to the showroom. We can only dream how beautiful fireworks will be over the island waters.
TWIN CITIES CELEBRATION
Jordan is celebrating with sweat equity cheering on friends at the Red, White & Boom! TC Half Marathon. Afterwards there will be live music and vendors with lots of fun games, food and entertainment. She and her husband will be on the hunt for the most patriotic and delicious food vendors to share on their foodie Instagram @minneapoldish. Follow along for all their must-haves throughout the weekend. She’s not completely decided where they will end up to watch fireworks, but will follow along Explore Minnesota’s fireworks guide to help decide.
Whether you’re spending the holiday in the city, in your own backyard or at the cabin, we wish you a wonderful and safe Fourth of July! Our team will be enjoying the long weekend and will be excited and refreshed to come back to the showroom on Monday, July 8.
Cheers to the Red, White & Blue,
Interior Impressions Team
