The 4th of July, America's National Day, in Washington D.C. is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

We had the opportunity to visit Washington, D.C. and were fortunate enough to be there on July 4th.

After a six-hour flight from Portland to Dulles Airport, I arrived at 6:00 AM and was picked up and taken to the city, arriving around 7:00 AM. Looking for a place to eat, I found only food trucks selling similar food at the same price. I decided to try a beef sausage for about $3.

The morning atmosphere was still quiet and not many people were around. Some roads were closed that day, and there were police officers standing at some points to maintain security. As I walked along the Washington Monument, I saw soldiers and a marching band preparing for the parade that would take place later in the morning.

The parade will begin at 11:45 am from Constitution Avenue 7-17. If you would like to watch, please come and reserve a seat. First come, first served. It is recommended to arrive early to secure a good viewing spot.

The weather was extremely hot that day, so I sought refuge under the shade of a tree.

The parade has begun as scheduled, starting at 11:45 am and ending at 2:00 pm.

The soldiers there are all impeccably dressed, sharp, and handsome.

The parade has ended, and people are starting to disperse.

Today is Family Day, so there are people having picnics.

With the remaining time, find a place to sit and relax in the air-conditioned museum nearby, as the weather outside is extremely hot.

Await the highlight, yes, the Firework show at night. According to the schedule, it starts at 9:00 pm.

This is the seating location we chose. It is close to the Washington Monument because we thought that after the fireworks everyone would rush home and head straight to the Metro. So we chose this spot because it is the most convenient way to walk to the Metro.

The fireworks were set off at the National World War II Memorial that day.

We can choose the location we want to see, such as the Lincoln Memorial, Capitol Hill, or the Washington Monument, each of which offers a different beautiful view.

This is a MetroCard from that day. He destroyed the card in the shape of the 4th of July.

The sky darkened a little later than usual that day, about five minutes behind schedule, before the fireworks began.

The fireworks display concluded around half past nine. I vividly recall the ambiance of that evening. The lights were stunning, and a choir serenaded us, creating a truly romantic atmosphere.

The police were very helpful in providing travel advice. They were very kind.

The return trip was incredibly crowded. The Metro platforms were packed, and when a train arrived, people would cheer if it was empty and boo if it was full. It was quite amusing.

The National Day of the United States of America has concluded. It was a worthwhile experience to witness the festive atmosphere of the event. If you have the opportunity to visit Washington, D.C. on the 4th of July, be sure to attend the parade and fireworks display. The real thing is definitely more spectacular than on TV.
