"I want to do as little as possible," Lee White said. "I don't intend on traveling 50 miles or even three miles. I want to sit and relax. I used to like fireworks as a kid.

White said he likes how the holiday is always on July 4, rather than being moved to a Monday like Memorial Day was. 

"This way it's not just about giving people a long weekend and having sales," White said.

Tony Arpaia said like White he hopes to be enjoying his holiday by relaxing.

"I'm hoping I can do what I want," Arpaia said. "That's freedom."

Arpaia said he hopes to go to a barbecue and was looking forward to having burgers and a steak.
