The creator of the ice bucket challenge puts the rumors to rest and falling flat. Pa passengers aboard a hot air balloon get an unexpected ending to their joyride, today, july 4th, 2017. This is today qwest with matt lauer and savannah guthrie, live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. Good morning, welcome to today on this Independence Day morning. Well help celebrate americas 241st birthday with some members of the band here. This is the United States ceremonial brass out on the plaza and theyll be joining us throughout the course of the morning. Busy morning. We begin with breaking news overnight. North korea says it successfully test launched an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile. Beginning with nbcs keir simmons in london. Good morning. Chanel, good morning. Defense officials tell nbc that they are assessing the missiles. Ear early the launch is one of a string of tests this year and comes days before leaders from a group of 20 nations are due to discuss steps to rein in north koreas weapons programs. Overnight, north korea announcing it conducted yet another missile test, claiming for the first time it has successfully tested an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile, icbm which could potentially have the range to reach the United States. Overseen by leader kim jongun, Officials Say the missile test was fired from the countrys Western Region and tracked for 37 minutes before landing in the sea of japan. The launch comes after a string of recent tests and amid steadily escalating tensions between north korea and the United States. President trump calling out the north korean leader, condemning the missile test on twitter. North korea has Just Launched another missile. Does this guy have anything better to do with his life . Hard to believe that south korea and japan will put up with this muchs china will put a heavy move on north korea and end this nonsense once and for all. National security adviser h. R. Mcmaster calling a Nuclear Armed north korea the numberone threat to the u. S. We have to prepare all options because the president has made clear to us that he will not accept a Nuclear Power in north korea and a threat that can target the United States and target the american population. Reporter it is unlikely but not unprecedented for the u. S. To change t assessment of the type of missile tested by north korea. Asking if it could be an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile as north korea claims, one official says its possible. Well talk about that. Keir, thank you. Lets bring in jeremy bash. Nbc News National security analyst. Good morning to you. Good morning, guys. This is the 11th time that theyve conducted a missile test since donald trump became president. Theyre doing it more frequently now. This appears to be the longest of the tests so far. What can we make of the timing and north korea being a global threat . Lets break there down. This missile traveled only 578 miles, but it launched high into the air. It flew about 40 minutes. If you extend out that range, it could hit alaska and maybe the outer reaches of hawaii. While the label Intercontinental Ballistic Missile is not as important as the range, what is showcases is this is a significant escalation. The regime of kim jongun is heavily isolated from the world. And despite threats and tough talk from the Trump Administration, at this point, nothing seems to be working. What can they do to reel this in . Its very difficult. And north korea seems undeterred by President Trumps rhetoric. They seem undeterred by chinas diplomacy. The options on the table for america are very limited. And one of the things i think the Trump Administration is weighing is preemptive military action. If they see another Missile Launched on a launchpad or on the back of a vehicle, the Trump Administration will have to decide whether to strike that preemptively. Of course, that could spark a wider war on the korean peninsula. You mentioned china. Reportedly President Trump called the president of china, president xi, expressed his frustration that the chinese have not done more. Have we overstated chinas willingness and or ability to rein in north korea . Its our only hope, craig. Thats the point in the region. We dont have many good options. And all of the options usually lead to putting more pressure on china, to put pressure on their partner in the region, north korea. They control that border. We need to leverage that diplomacy. Its significant because last month donald trump said the diplomacy has not worked. In statements on friday with the south korean president , he said effectively diplomacy is over. I think thats what triggered the Missile Launches. People are concerned with the apparent advancement of technology, justice u. S. The timeline on all this. They have been testing missiles since the mid2000s. Theyve been Testing Nuclear weapons since 2006. Five nuclear tests. But they have not put a Nuclear Warhead on top of a missile. They do not have the ability to hit the United States with a nuclear weapon. But this Missile Launch shows they can potentially range alaska, hawaii and eventually the west coast of the United States. G20 leaders. Japan will be there, china, the United States. This will be the topic of conversation. From an international perspective, what are the options for the International Community . I think the biggest option here is sanctioning. Sanctioning those entities to do business with north korea to cut off their lifeline. Short of that, were talking about preemptive military action, which nobody wants. Thank you. President trump back at the white house where he will be spending his first fourth of july as commander in chief. But hes looking ahead to the highlyanticipated facetoface meeting with russias president Vladimir Putin, in germany. Chief White House Correspondent Hallie Jackson has more on that.

Over the diplomatic compounds here, shut down after russias election interference. Both sides are working out timing, length and format of the sideline meeting of the two leaders. The russian president last month with megyn kelly. Translator did we have a special relationship with him . We didnt have a relationship at all.

Its fun and more popular than ever. Several new cases of people getting hurt. Experts say theres simple things you can do, while still having fun, to keep out of the e. R. Its a great way to beat the heat. Zipping behind a boat. Sweeping across the sea. And while it looks like harmless fun, the wipeouts can be extreme. When youre out there tubing, youre going 18 to 25 miles per hour. And when you fall off, it can almost be like hitting concrete. Reporter last year, there were more than 4,000 boating accidents, resulting in 701 deaths. So, the nations largest boating Safety Organization is issuing a warning. Jeff, you ready to go . Reporter ready. Putting me on a tube. Its hard to hold on. To demonstrate lifesaving tips. Keep watching. On this turn right here. As i hit the boats wake. I wipe out. The tube flying in the air. My body, slamming into the water. Okay. So, when you fall off the tube, the immediate instinct will be to swim back to the boat. Dont do that. You want to stay where you are, tread water, wearing a life vest when youre tubing is mandatory. It will be easy to tread water like i am right now. Look around for other boats, make sure you wont get hit. Youre a tiny dot in the middle of the sea. They can barely see you. Give the okay sign to your boat. Make eye contact so they know youre all right and wait for them to come get you. And what the Boat Operator does jeff, im coming to you. Just stay where you are. Im going to drive around you and let you pick up the towline. As soon as you grab it, im going to turn the motor off and pull you in. With the motor off, theres no chance of you getting hit by the propeller. Reporter thats the biggest tip, cut the engine. When the boat gets close, i grab the line. I have the tow line. The engine is off. This is safe. There you go. Reporter now, were safe on the boat. No chance of a collision. No chance of anything happening to you. You can have a great time on the water and be safe. Reporter a couple of other important things to remember. Always make sure there are at least two people on the boat. Someone to drive and a spotter to watch the tuber or the water skier. And experts say everyone should be wearing a life jacket. It seems completely obvious. But experts say most of the people who die every year or get hurt arent wearing them. We hope the tips help and happy fourth of july.

And what they do is offer just like you said, hundreds of thousands of deals in a 30hour period. And sometimes they do the lightning deals, which are really short deals, a brief amount of time.

So, a lot of people were all living in, i should say, in this economy. Its called a gig economy now. It means that people are taking on multiple jobs to make an extra buck or make ends meet. Many refer to this as side hustling. Recently the Pew Research Center conducted a survey and discovered that nearly a quarter of americans are using digital platforms to make extra money. This includes ride sharing apps, Delivery Services and home sharing sites. Washington post has a ranking of how much people are earning on average every month. Before i show you this, these are the different platforms. You want to guess which company you can earn the most money from on the side . Ebay. Ebay . Thats interesting. I would say uber. Uber. Well, here are your results. Are you ready . Number one, airbnb. Thats true. Some people are making up to 440 a month. I can believe that. I put these in order. You can look at the list. Next is lyft at 210 a month. Same thing. Uber, 155. Thats more than uber. Youre good at doing odds and ends, task rabbit, you can make around 100 bucks a month. Somebody needs help hanging something. I do that often. I do, too. You can use that. How about door dash. The next one, post mates. What is in a . I want a caribbean restaurant down the street. But with post mates, somebody will get it for you. If you have a car, a bike. You can send one of the seven children you have. Not quite old enough yet. Training wheels dont get there fast enough. Next, getaround for 70. What is that . I dont know. And the last one, etsy. You can rent a car from someone . From a strange center. I dont have a car. Thats a genius idea. Probably a lot cheaper. Rental cars are not cheap in the city. Well, there you go. Have you thought about doing something on the side . No. But i want to take advantage of what other people are doing. Id do something on the side. What would it be . What would your service be, craig . The service is oh. Service . I can provide services. Okay. Dylan, were going to move on. Pop start lets go.

Play the role forever . He said, its like a glove that fits so well. I never want to blow it for the last six or seven movies. I decided to go do it one more time. I want to hang up my jersey before its embarrassing. Downey jr. Has plans to reprize the role in the infinity war coming out in 2019. I cant imagine anyone else playing ironman. I get it. He wants to go out on top. And several stars have started to kick off the long Holiday Weekend. Some got off to a rough start. Take pink for instance. The singer shared a snap of her and her daughter trapped inside an elevator. She updated they did make it out. The kardashians threw a barbecue for families and friends. Sharing this feast with several guests. Kris jenner enjoyed the food and kanye, who you can see smiling. And orlando bloom, celebrating the holiday with his father and his son, flynn. Look at that. Three handsome generations. Just getting star ted. Today is the day, righ t . Kar dashians looki ng lik e what its going to be at your house later. She has a big cookout. Frozen burgers . Exactly. People on the edges who come late. Dylan, take it away. Here we go. For the dyly click. Your fourth of july isnt complete until you see this. A chicken playing the piano. And his skills are impressive. The slower version. Is that real . It is real. I have a hard time believing it myself. If you look closely, you can see that the keys light up. The chicken knows which one to peck and which one to hit the next one. And her owner says patriotic songs are her forte. She is hoping to try a country tune next. I think she needs a pad on her beak. Im sure someone is working on that. Dylan dreyer, thank you so much. Time for day two of our series, starting over today. This is where we feature people from all over the country, who have made a major change to turn their lives around. This morning, we hear from a woman who was living what she thought was her dream, life in paris. Until she found fulfillment as an oyster farmer. Jenna bush hager has the story. Reporter on the post of southern maine, Abigail Carol is known as the oyster lady. Owner and operator of an Award Winning oyster farm. This series is all about taking a reset. Talk to me about what that means in your life. It means, just changing your life. And embarking on a new advent e adventure. Reporter this is yours office. Abigails new adventure brought her here. Before she was a farmer, she was living in paris, engaged to a french count and working in finance. You were living in paris. And living what seems like an amazing life. How did you decide to change things up . I had a really easy life. I was trading stocks for myself on my computer. And i didnt have a lot of responsibilities to anybody but myself. And in a lot of ways, it was the dream life. But there was something missing. I felt very disconnected, and i was living in a virtual world. Reporter when her relationship ended, she came home to maine to help a friend with a Business Plan with an oyster farm. Writing a Business Plan was not farming oyster. The caveat was, i will write a Business Plan but i am not getting in the water. Reporter when her friend backed out of the project, she decided to take it on. Resetting her life and life plan. Youre an accidental oyster farmer. Entirely an accidental oyster farmer. I was not happy about it at first. But i followed my fathers advice, which was to cowboy up. And i dried my tears and i bought a pair of waders and got my hands dirty. When you look back to what you are look as a little kid, growing up here, spending time on the coast, can you imagine that this would be your future . No. Absolutely not. Never in a million years would i have tremt i would be an oyster farmer. And sometimes i think, i cant believe this is my life. Theres days when you are fighting yourself. But most days, even when the hardest days when im fighting myself to get out here, when i leave the water, i feel happiness and joy. Reporter the work is tough with harsh conditions and winter temperatures dropping below freezing. But after a few years, abigail began to make a profit, just as the winter of 2014 arrived with its poller vortex that killed most of her oysters, forcing her to restart everything from scratch. Did you think about giving up . Absolutely. This has been so insanely hard. I know that struggle has just made me a better human being in the end. Reporter facing the hard reality of rebuilding, she decided to rebrand and share her passion with others. Every year we bring people out here on the oyster tours. And frankly, had i not started the tours, i dont know if i would have the farm here. Reporter today, her oysters are thriving and winning awards. And she plans to harvest 800,000 this summer. What advice would you give somebody who is thinking about changing up their lives, taking a reset . The reset didnt make me who i am today. What made i am today. What made me who i am today is the seven years of engagement, of struggle and rethinking, repositioning and reupping and thats it. Youve just got to keep reupping and thats when life happens and thats when the magic happens. For nbc news, Jena Bush Hager in scarborough, maine. Cheers i love that. Thats gutsy. I think its interesting, too, to note that even though she had reset it doesnt mean life becomes easy, like youre living by the water. She said it was difficult. Its taking the extra step to try something new. You made a good point, though. I wonder how many people put themselves out there and try something new and it doesnt always work out. Im curious, how much is the riskreward there for that . I dont know. So many people think about it and dont do it. I admire their courage like the woman yesterday. Shes expanded her business and shes making skincare made with seaweed and lobsters as a goal to give everyone everywhere a piece of the marine experience. Excuse me, a piece of the maine experience. Good stuff. Tomorrow, a man who went from the football field to the fire station after spending seven seasons in the nfl, hes now a fire chief in massachusetts. Youll meet him. Coming up a today show tradition thats music to our ears and the air force ceremonial brass after your local news. I m. Vo firefighters are still at a home in danville. Which was partly destroyed by a late night fire. This happened at el a very good fourth of july good morning to you. Im laura garciacannon. Firefighters are still at a home in danville partially destroyed bay latenight fire. It happened at shelly place near danville boulevard. Firefighters arrived a little after midnight to find the garage fully engulfed, the car fully destroyed. All four people got out safely. They dont believe it was caused by fireworks but they dont know the exact cause. A look at the morning commute. Any problems . We have a few troubled spots. If we look at our traffic sensors, the green is showing mostly clear roads, but we have two troubled spots and thats just right along the south bay and it looks like 280 southbound and northbound on both sides, but it looks like those crashes are off to the side, which is why we arent seeing any metering or slowing. Along southbound and northbound 17, they are recovering from what was a three crashes and working to get these two off to the side before any major backup happens on the road. Palo alto, what weve been seeing the majority of the morning, a very holidaylight traffic out there which means if you have to get off to work right now you probably wont be dealing with any traffic at least for now. Lets hope it stays that way. Another local update in about half an hour. Have a great fourth of july. Hope its safe. [brother] any last words . [boy] karma, danny. Karma [vo] progress is seizing the moment. Your summer moment awaits you, now that the summer of audi sales event is here.

Were back at 8 30 on this Tuesday Morning, july 4th, 2017. We have a nice sized holiday crowd. Good morning. Yes. Theyre so polite. Weve been listening to the United States air force ceremonial brass, with a beautiful rendition of stars and stripes forever for us. Were going to talk to them in a little bit. We have a great crowd. Thank you for coming out today. We were talking to the folks earlier this morning. We have a special person. They dont know im about to stop. Im stop right here. This is Senior Master sergeant tim here with his family from south carolina. He retired from the air force last week, i hear, after 26 years of service. How about a round of applause .

Thank you for your service. Yes. Coming up, were going to give you something to do, something to watch. From the action flicks to the oscar contenders, were breaking down the Sizzling Summer entertainment. Nothing says fourth of july better than a barbecue. Its safe to say were delighted about the pulled pork situation about to go down. Excited pork fans. Speaking of the plaza, we cant wait until this thursday. Grammywinner ed sheeran, taking over our citi concert stage. He wants you to choose one of his songs to perform. You can pick between thinking out loud, galway girl. Or supermarket flowers. Some of the folks would like to just stick around. I know. Sleep outside. By the way, an allstar lineup on deck for macys 4th of July Fireworks spectacular. Performances by jennifer lopez, charlie puth, that airs at 8 00 p. M. Eastern. The fireworks display, a major part of that. What is the word . Most everyone is going to see nice weather. For the macys fireworks spectacular, it looks really nice. The best chance of seeing scattered storms will be in kentucky and tennessee, to virginia and North Carolina. Spotty storms, the rain thats going to wash out the fourth of july fest. The western half of the country looks okay. Not a lot going on. Just the spotty showers in and around the areas i mentioned. The macys 4th of July Fireworks spectacular, temperatures about 78 degrees. Thats perfect later on tonight. Well see temps dip so just about perfect. Thats whats going on around the country. Heres a peek out your window. Good morning. Im meteorologist kari hall. Checking out the forecast for fremont and the parade start agent 10 00 this morning. It will be at 67 degrees and mostly sunny skies. It warms up to 80 degrees this afternoon. And for livermore, we also have the festivities going on, the block party starts at 4 00. Well be at 85 degrees and then into the mid60s in time for fireworks later tonight. Well also still see mostly clear sky for the inland areas. And thats your latest forecast. Craig . Dylan, thank you. July fourth, a good time to preview some of the releases coming soon to both big and Small Screens near you. Here to break it down for us, special correspondent, dave carter. Always good to see you. Good to see you, craig. Lets start with the blockbusters here, sequels. These are two moves everyone knowses about and im very happy to report theyre both great. First one is spiderman home coming. Some people are saying another spiderman reboot . This one works and its because of the star, tom holland and he is so winning that you just fall in love with him and what theyre doing thats different this time is they made spiderman younger, hes 15 and they inserted him into the larger marvel universe. Just like they did with captain america where he made his debut, tom holland, you see Robert Downey junior, and captain america in this movie which is great and more from the planet of the apes. People love the trilogy wrapping up later this month, and i love this movie. Its visually spectacular. Its emotional, surprisingly and politically relevant. This is a film that critics are loving and audiences will appreciate it, too. And the villain is played by Woody Harrelson and hes excellent. Whats the word on comedies . Theres a bunch. One i want to talk about is girls trip this is a raunchy comedy with Jada Pinkett Smith and Queen Latifah and its four friends who go to essencefest to new orleans where debauchery ensues. And shes from the carmichael show on nbc and she gives a performance like Melissa Mccarthy in bridesmaids. Another allfemale guest called fun mom dinner, Molly Shannon and tony collette, four moms who go out to dinner and the dinner takes a turn and they have a crazy night and its a lot of fun and adam levine is in it playing a bartender. Hes good. He can act and very charming and paul rud d is in it, too. His wife wrote the movie and that will be out next year and then a crazy movie called logan lucky, directed by stephen sodderberg, and its Channing Tatum and adam, who decide to rob the Charlotte Motor Speedway and the interesting performance here is daniel craig playing very much against type as a bleached blond convict with a really convincing southern accent. What about action movies . Atomic blond. This one will have a lot of people talking. This is Charlize Therons new movie. Its a european spy thriller with some of the most wild and inventive action and fight sequences ive ever seen in my entire life. Shes such a great action hero and puts the guys to shame. And it has the best music of any movie this summer. I love it. Any oscar contenders to keep an eye for . Dunn kirk, the world war ii drama from Christopher Nolan who did kwointerstellar puts you the middle of the war like no other war movie, and a terrific film called detroit, from the writing and directing team from the hurt locker and zero dark thirty. This is the best movie ive seen this year and it tells of the 1967 detroit race riots and deplorable conduct by some white Police Officers, a very disturbing movie. Not an easy movie to watch, but very, very good. Already getting oscar buzz. Family affair. How about a film for the whole movie. Its the emoji movie. I know people groaned when they heard there was going to be an emoji movie. From the footage ive seen it will be fun and inventive and i hope it will be as good as the lego movie and you have Patrick Stewart as the voice of the poop emoji. Patrick stewart as poop. From the big screen to the small screen. There are things streaming that people should look for. On netflix, there is a movie called ozark, jason bateman, he plays a chicago dad and Financial Adviser who is a money launderer for one of the top drug cartels. When a deal goes awry, he is forced to flee with his family to the ozarks. I love the show blood line and this reminded me of that. Kelsey grammar is coming back, as well. Yes. They have a streaming show on amazon called the last tycoon and based on an f. Scott fitzgerald novel and they play rival movie studio executives, and because it takes place in the 1930s, youre dealing with issues like the depression and antisemitism as well as this great classic hollywood theme. So theres a lot to look at and very sumptuous and the cast. Dave parker, we always appreciate you for breaking that down for us. Up next, a classic cookout for the fourth. Pulled pork, smoked corn, baked beans. Were very excited, but first this is today on nbc. Were back with today food. Nothing says july 4th than a good oldfashioned barbecue. Smoking up some pulled pork. Nice and slow with smoked corn and baked beans. Matt moore is doing it. It smells like perfection. It smells pretty good. Thank you. I didnt realize, that pulled pork comes from the butt, right . Its a bit of a misnomer. Its coming from the shoulder of the hog. Its one of my favorite cuts. Its versatile, accordable and it can stretch to feed a crowd. And it tastes good, right . Okay. What are we making . Youll pick these up in any store. Youre going to find them 8 to 12 pounds. I want to rinse it off and pat it dry. One of the first steps we do, were going to score the fat. What does that do . It allows us to impart more of the marinade and the rub, which im going to put you to work on over here. Can i show people what they need . Youll find elements you find in most dry rubs. Salt, pepper, brown sugar. Unique spots with the nutmeg and a little of allspice. You want to put that in there . Drop it all in and mix it together. We came across this recipe at st. Louis at bogarts smoke house. They like to coat this with mustard. And well put the rub on. If you have time, to let it set up in the fridge for 24 hours. Okay . Ooh. Over here, we have a smoker. Im going to pick this up. Get you to open that smoker. This is the real deal. How long will this take, matt . This is one of my favorites. This is an acorn smoker. Were going to cook over indirect heat. This is the epitome of very low and slow. Its 200 degrees for 20 hours. 20 hours . Yes. Now, i know some folks might say you dont have time to do this. You can break this in half and cook it at 300 degrees, a little hotter. The method is that time and temperature equals results. Can you taste the time and temperatures . The low and slow. I taste the love. Taste the love. Thats a good sign. This is a good sign. Theyre not talking to each other, thats how you know theyre focused. Lets smoke some corn. A supersimple side. When youre entertaining, you should be entertaining. Were going to throw this right on the smoker. Very simple. I just pulled back the husks. You put it on the grill. Some people keep it inside of the husks. Pulled it back. Removed the silk. Making a compound butter with butter and thooyme. Its nice and lemony. Well put the husk back on. You put it back on . It allows the moisture to be trapped and more tender. Low and slow. You taste that . Dylan is on to the corn. Its all in my teeth. Weve been smoking all night. Its ready to pull off. Supertender. Craig wants me to say a big butt. Thats a beautiful butt. A beautiful butt. Beautiful butt. The idea is that once you pull this off, if youre making a great steak, we want to let this rest about an hour. Im going to tend it with foil. Why is that . It will allow the juices a chance to redistribute. The first line of a book, that opinions are like butts and everyone has one. When it comes to sauce, everybody has an opinion. The common opinion is that sauce should always be served to accompany the meat, right . Sometimes it so good it doesnt need it. But it can add to it. Were doing an Eastern Carolina style sauce. A lot of vinegar. You can drop the whole thing. The whole thing . Brown sugar, salt and pepper. A lit bit of sweet in there, too. And more cayenne, were mimicking the flavor from the dry rub. About a minute left. How long do you let it sit . Heres the key to a good butt. We want to make sure this bone is going to pull completely clean. Do you see that . He pulled that right out. Literally. Supertender. Behind you. Whoa. This pulls. Look at that. You can do it with a barbecue sandwich. In the book, we give you recipes for ramen, nachos, enchiladas, spaghetti. And the other side is the baked beans. A the secret is a lilt bit of root beer. Fantastic. I justice u. S. Put Barbecue Sauce in. Dylan put the deans in the sandwich. Just Barbecue Sauce, onion, little hot sauce and garlic powder. This is why you win. Youre a master. Give him a round of applause. Very good. Happy fourth. And you can find the recipes at today.

For fourth of july, we want to look festive, but you dont want to feel like youre in a costume. Its about picking understated pieces that can transition well. First, we have nicki. And what i love about this outfit is this is probably in most womens closet already. A white dress for the summer and a denim jacket. Denim pulls the look together. Its the makeup. We have a bold red lip. You wouldnt think of makeup as part of the outfit. It works and its not a commitment piece. Its stunning. She walked in. And its the lip, youre right. With the white, its gorgeous. She has a red nail. The little makeup accessories play into the look. And pop the collar. And we have joanne. And heres another great option. Gingham is the print of the season. Its a great option for july 4th. This dress is from zahra. We kept it casual. Its great for a summer barbecue. I like that youre rocking it with sneakers.

If a bold red lip is too much for you, you can do blue eye makeup. Thats a trend were seeing. You can do blue mascara, blue eye shadow. And youre not going to look like the 80s . Pick one. I would do either mascara, eye shadow, eye liner, one of them. Not all three. Good advise. Moving sneakers, a trend for july fourth. I love these, the nikes, they have the red, white and blue in them. But theyre subtle enough, you can wear them for the rest of the summer. I love these. A little stars. A little nod to the fourth of july. And we cant forget about the guys. Socks are huge for guys. My husband and sons are obsessed from socks. Nair from stans. They have to have elements of red, blue, white in them. It pulls it together. Do your pants have to be skinny pants. How are you rocking that . Whats the vision . If you want to be safe, wear shorts. You can wear your socks and you dont have to worry about that. Dont have to do the skinny jeans. Next, bandannas. I love a great bandanna. Especially for july 4th. They were 1. 66. Supercheap. You can wear them as a choker, which is fun. I love the idea of putting it on a hat. The hats are from lack of color. Theyre so fun. Give some festive flare. And another great option, here we have bags. You can also tie your bandanna around your bag, which is supercute and fess fiftive. I love them for the peach. Theyre from lulus. And i love the lilt white backpack that has the tassels that are fourth of july inspired. You know what, though . If youre going somewhere it makes it fun and festive. Lots of jewelry.

San jose police are looking for a man who led them on a car chase after nearly running over a police officer. We first broke this story yesterday on today in the bay, it wasnt clear at the time what kind of activity was going on here. This is all sunday night on monterrey road. The driver used a stolen vehicle and nearly hit the officer when police were trying to stop him the driver hit a parked car nearby. Officers at the time were able to nab one of the passengers in the car who tried to escape then the driver hit another parked car. Police officers caught two more passengers and all three people were arrested. But a fourth person is still on the run this morning. Coming up after this break, well have a look at your forecast as fireworks is top of mind for many folks. Carrie will have a look at that after the break. Good morning, im carrie hall. We are still going to see the clouds and low fog in San Francisco. This may block your view of the fireworks tonight. Were going to see the temperatures in the mid60s for the next several days. Inland area will be sunny and bright throughout the afternoon. Very warm for spots like the trivalley, over toward the delta. Well continue on with temperatures in the 80s most of the week. The warmest day looks like it will be on sunday. Lets head over to vna for an update on the roadways. Were seeing a decent commute. Weve had a couple fender benders pop up throughout the bay area right now. There is an accident at 17. It looks like it may be blocking one of the lanes. Not seeing any slowing in that area, East Bay Drive times, southbound 680 about 11 minutes to 880. About 2 minutes, outside of san jose, you can see what the commuters have been enjoying, maybe theyre on their way to work. Back to you. That is a refreshing sight. Thank you very much. I appreciate that carrie as well. If you are looking for events to do things tonight. We have all the details for the fireworks shows. Thats going to do it for us right now. Well be back coming up in 30 minutes. For now, back to the today show. If you have the holiday off, youre probably spending it with your family. While youre hanging out, you might want to discuss your Summer Vacation plans. Were going to show you the top travel destinations from trip advisers Vice President of global communications, desiree fish. Nice to have you here. Thank you. You have a young family, sheinelle does. Lots of energy, where do you go . Marthas vineyard. Really . This is a place that is one of the beautiful islands in new england. You have minigolf or arcades. Landmarks and lighthouses and tons of beaches. One of the best things to do is to go to the flying horses carousel. Its one of the oldest working carousels in all of the u. S. In addition to that, you can do beach, sunset cruises, et cetera. Theres tons of stuff to do. Where to stay. Its an expensive island, i think. You can go on a budget. You can do a rental home. You can have separate bedrooms, separate bedtimes for the family. Lots of living space. One of the great places to go is the b b house. Its only 120 a night and its right near the beach. Foodies. Seattle. Seattle in the summer is perfect. Not too hot. Not the rainy season and its great for foodies. I dont know if you know of pikes place market. Yes. Throwing the pusfish. Absolutely wonderful. You can go to beachers and seeing the cheese being made. The first starbucks. And theres lots to do there. You can do food tours. One of the great things about this, you can eat your way through seattle. Savor seattle food tours, you dont have to have a meal because you eat along the tour. You stay anywhere, or i saw a picture of the beautiful bed. Mediterranean inn, near the space need. You want to be downtown and see sights. My husband is a thrill seeker. What would you recommend . Go to aspen, colorado. A lot of people think of it as a winter vacation. Its a Summer Vacation, too. You can go hiking and white water rafting, ride the horses. C once youre done with the hike, you can rest your muscles in the hot springs. And then, to stay, the hotel durant, which is downtown aspen, lots of restaurants and galleries. Lots to do there. Thats not too much, either, during the summer. To relax . Siesta key, florida. Its beautiful. Pristine beaches. One of the best things, dont just lay on the beach. Do a bunch of activities. You can go fishing, snorkeling, scu scuba. Theres golfing if you want to relax. One of the best things to do is to stay at the captiva beach resort. If you stay there, you can save 100 a night, after we compared the prices, during the summer. Its a great place. An you can walk to the beach. Use that money for something else. Right. Finally, history buffs that go on special trips. You have san antonio, texas, for that one. My hometown. You remember the alamo. Everyone remembers that. But theres four other amazing missions that you can go and visit there. Theyre not in downtown, like the alamo is. But you can take a trail and hike or drive around to the different missions. But in addition to that, its got the river walk. The river walk is flanked with restaurants and bar and its a great night theme. The two places we recommend to stay there is downtown. But youve got either the drury in, which is a vallejo teue hot which is i amazing. Or you can stay at hotel emma, which used to have it used to be a brewery. It was open in prohibition time. Thats a cool story you can tell people. I have to visit. Thank you so much. Staying in a brewery. Thats like a bud and breakfast. From bloody mary burgers, simple food and decor to pull off a party in a pinch. After these messages. I was always the girl with psoriasis. People dont stare anymore. I never joined in.

Tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms. Or if you have received a vaccine or plan to. If you have inflammatory bowel disease, tell your doctor if symptoms develop or worsen.
