I hope you all had an awesome celebration yesterday. We had a pretty relaxed Fourth of July. Nothing really exciting happening in the morning and in the afternoon we went to the grocery store, grilled burgers at home, I baked an apple pie and we hung out on our terrace. Around 9pm we went to the rooftop of our building that is facing the other side than our apartment. All fireworks were kinda further away so we decided to go back to our terrace instead. On Friday and Saturday there was a lot of fireworks that we had a perfect view over (I read online later that those were the big 4th of July fireworks for the city). There was a few fireworks yesterday but nothing major, but it didn’t bother us since we had watched it all on both Fri and Sat. It was just nice to enjoy our terrace. Thor was sleeping in my lap and J was dj’ing on his phone.
Having an outdoor space really is amazing. We have lived in NYC for over 6 years and even if we could go up on the rooftop or sit in the park to enjoy the outside, it’s not the same. Our terrace here is private (which is the only one in the building I think that is) which is super nice. It’s not as cozy and decorated as I wish it to be yet. But at night, all you need is a candle and its cozier already:)
