4th of July in DC?
It appears our 2015 summer vacation will land us in DC for the fourth. Kids will be 12,10,6. I'm imagining a spectacular fireworks display with so many people it's difficult to move. Sound about rig...

Live in the area the last 20 years. Never done the boat ride. As far as the best places to view the fireworks:
1)The Mall between the Capital and the Washington Monument.
2)Along side the reflecting pool between the WWII Memorial and the Lincoln Memorial.
3)The Eclipse behind the White House.
I believe all three places you will clearly see the fireworks up close and hear accompaniment by The National Symphony Orchestra.
Metro is the only way to travel. Don't even think about driving. This event draws around 700,000 people It will be very very very crowded. Oh did i mention it would be crowded? Get there early and hang around after the show for a good while. Metro will be packed beyond belief at least 90 mins after the show.
But its a great show, only second to NYC. Well worth seeing at least once.
