Lone Star Court, Austin

Washington, DC (PRWEB) June 25, 2014 -- Fourth of July is usually marked by hot weather, barbeques, parades, flag-waving, trips to the pool, and fireworks. DC, NYC, Philadelphia, and Boston are all great patriotic places to celebrate Uncle Sam’s birthday, but trips to these locations usually equal hordes of fellow Americans.

Five Star Alliance has the following suggestions for alternative festivities:
