Good morning.
Washington celebrates the Fourth of July like every other American city---with fireworks. The massive display of color and booming rockets---2,800 shells weighing 14,000 pounds---is held on the National Mall near the Washington Monument, preceded by a pop concert near the Capitol.
President Bush is touring Thomas Jefferson's Monticello home in Charlottesville, Va. and speaking at a naturalization ceremony.
