Its time to celebrate our great nation's independence yet again. Hopefully we will all take a few moments to reflect on how far we have come since our country was founded, the freedoms we hold so dear, and how thankful we are to live in the land of the free.
What are some memorable 4th of July vacations or events that you have enjoyed?
Where are you planning on travelling, and what are you planning on doing for the 4th of July this year?

This is one of the more well-known paintings from the Dutch Golden Age. In particular, you can see a young boy smoking a pipe and two open vessels near a woman.
There is a lot of symbolism, particularly with regard to drinking, smoking, and sex. The painting below is often cited as a prime example of Dutch symbolism...

Frans Hals was a portrait painter, much like Rembrandt. This one was a group portrait.
This painting depicts the Company of St. George. In the 17th century, such orders were common in Dutch society. Often they were a cross between a police force and a benevolent fraternity.
Another example:
