Fourth of July Fireworks in Avon | Cape Hatteras National Seashore

Watching fireworks always takes me back to childhood.  When I was a little girl, we spent holiday weekends at my grandparents river house, building bonfires, chasing fireflies, and setting off our own fireworks display.  It was a time filled with giggles, scrapped knees, and the family all gathered together.  Fireworks still bring those memories to the top of my mind and the pleasure of watching them explode makes me feel just like a kid again.

The Avon Fishing Pier sets off a wonderful fireworks display for the Fourth of July.  Our house is just a mile south of the pier, so walking down to the beach offers the perfect viewpoint for the show.  Vacationers fill the beach and I watch with a smile as families create the memories that live so fresh in my own mind.
