Happy Birthday America!

Independence Day Trivia

This morning I Googled "Independence Day'.  The first thing to pop up was Find the nearest fireworks display or Independence Day celebration‎.  Not quite what I was looking for.  I did, however find a few facts that I thought were interesting - not mind blowing...  just a few things that made me go 'hmmmm'.

• The Declaration of Independence was signed on July 2^nd, 1976, not on July 4^th.
• John Adams and Thomas Jefferson were both Founding Fathers of the United States.
• John Adams and Thomas Jefferson were the only two men that signed the Declaration and became President.
• John Adams and Thomas Jefferson both died on the 50^th anniversary of the United States, July 4^th, 1826.
• In 1980, Independence Day was an unpaid holiday for federal employees.  It became a paid holiday in 1938.

Here's a JigZone puzzle to help you get in the spirit.

I'll be sitting somewhere along the street on Hwy92 near Roswell High School to see the fireworks tonight.
Hope to see you there!
