4th of July and Jazz Festival

We had great seats for the Iowa City 4th of July fireworks show. They launched from Hubbard Park on the Iowa River.


Because we sat nestled in the classic buildings that make up the UI pentacrest (on the front steps of the old iowa state capitol building) I felt like I was seeing a fireworks show from our nations capital.



The old iowa state capital building is behind and above me. It was a spectacular sight with the fireworks.


The next night My room mate and I took our neighbors Su and Megan out to the Jazz Festival. It was a really fun night. The weather was gorgeous. We had pork on a stick, fried rice, and gelato. Afterwards we went up to the Coralville dam and took a look at the spill way. It was the perfect evening.
