This is not the first time I've moved during the 4th of July weekend. I did it back in 2002. My roommates and I moved in, and then went to see fireworks. That was in Philadelphia. This time it was Washington DC. I love being someplace big. We sat on Constitution Ave right between the Washington monument and Lincoln memorial where the fireworks shoot off. We were the closest that we could possibly be. It was incredible, feeling it in our chests every time one was launched, and seeing the sky completely filled with color above our heads... what an amazing experience! I feel so lucky! The finale was the loudest noise I've heard in a very long time. It was exhilarating.
The Lockkeeper's House at the corner of 17th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW is the remaining piece of the C & O Canal Extension. The stone structure was constructed as the house for the canal lockkeeper, who collected tolls and kept records of commerce on the waterway. The extension was built between 1832 and 1833 to connect the Washington City Canal with the C & O Canal.
