We went to the violin shop to buy our son's third violin. He finally got the one with 1/4 size. For me who cannot play any string instruments, it's almost magic he managed to play the new one even though he had never used that bigger size one. We then popped in the book store near there. I felt that it'd been ages since we last spent such a typical holiday together.

After dinner, we watched the fireworks show being held in sight of our house. There was shower at that time though, I think it ended up washing out dust in the air and made the fireworks rather brilliant.
