Over a two week period we got to celebrate the freedom and independence of three nations. On July 1 my son and I were in Canada and celebrated Canada Day. This was the fourth time in the past seven years that my son and I were able to take in this celebration.

July 4th, Independence Day my family and I were in Kansas visiting my in-laws. It was a special day as it was our son's first time to set off fire crackers and fireworks. This year was also the first time that I got to celebrate July 4th as an American citizen on US soil. I became a US citizen in March of 2012 but every year until the current I was in a different country for Independence Day.

On July 13 the French Consulate had a celebration for Bastille Day (July 14) at the Houston Polo Club. We started the day by going for lunch at a French cafe and then some sampling of French wine at a local wine store before heading off to the Polo Club. There were no fireworks but there was an exhibition polo match, French food, French beverages and French being spoken. For a few brief hours we soaked in the faint feeling of being back in France.
