We went too, and I think the fireworks were awesome. Maybe the best I've ever seen. We were close enough to hear the band, but couldn't really see them for all the people. I was disappointed with how late they started playing. It was supposed to be 7-9. I enjoyed the time with close friends and family, and the fireworks. We stayed afterward and just talked for about 30 minutes, and had very little trouble getting out. This is the first time I've been, and I will probably go back next year!
