Wanting an easygoing 4th of July, we had a leisurely morning before heading for an afternoon at a local park.
Howarth Park (c. 1955) is known as the "jewel" of Santa Rosa. This 138-acre community park provides endless recreational opportunities with a beautiful lake (c. 1894) for fishing and boating, a softball field, tennis courts, picnic areas, unique playground structures, miles of hiking and jogging trails, and an amusement area featuring a miniature train ride, carousel, animal farm and pony rides. It definitely demands a much longer visit.
Dinner was a traditional barbecue followed by games lakeside.
We even got in a little birding while there. It was a perfect day.
"The United States is the only country with a known birthday.
All the rest began, they know not when,
and grew into power, they know not how...
There is no "Republican," no "Democrat," on the Fourth of July,
— all are Americans."
