Holiday. Celebrate. Miller & Smith Style.

There are so many perks of being a resident of the greater Washington D.C. Metro area, probably heading up that list is the proximity to the Capitol Fourth Celebration hosted on the National Mall.  Picture this. Fourth of July viewed live from the country’s most spectacular stage. The brilliant colors, the patriotic sounds of the National Symphony Orchestra all set against the most Patriotic background our country has to offer. However, if you don’t feel like battling the masses on the holiday known for just kicking back, here are some alternative ideas and local to some of our very own Miller & Smith communities.
