There is one thing about Indiana, besides my girlfriend, that keeps bringing me back and that is the ability to buy and shoot off fireworks. I am not talking about the “safe and sane” Red Devil variety, but rather the good stuff provided by Phantom Fireworks. I am not saying I spend a lot of money there, but they send me a Christmas card every year. I got the house in Valparaiso in July 2007 and started doing fireworks shows that same year. It has become tradition.
These photos were taken on the days leading up to the 4th of July party Tanya and I had. They include visits to a couple of my favorite local restaurants, ZaZa Ristorante and Pikk’s Tavern, and Tanya showing the steps in the preparation of her delicious tiramisu.
