Here’s my guide on where to swim at Jordan Lake with everything you need…
Even though I moved to the US in 2013, I’ve never actually been to a 4th of July event. I haven’t deliberately avoided them, it’s just that each year I’ve either been working or traveling and missed the whole experience. Is that grounds for being arrested for treason? Who knows, but if it helps my case, it all changed this…

Anyone who has been on holidays knows that while it’s awesome, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. I’m looking at you travelers diarrhea.
