HOWEVER...our star watching party turned out very different from what was planned. ~ I am learning that plans are made just to keep me sane and excited for something, but they are not what is actually going to happen (I know, many of you figure this out much earlier on, but I am slow on the uptake with this concept, and just now learning to not anger at change) ~ so! while not a lengthy campout under the heavens...it was a fun evening topped off with a few 'shooting star' viewings.

Christianna and I have tried the meteor shower thing numerous times before and yes ... we were sucked in again. As you say, the show was slightly less than spectacular, but the night sky was beautiful and there's that making memories thing (minus the trip to the airport)
Well, sorry we missed it. Another example of me never knowing what's going on in the world (or my own backyard). As for planning, I've determined to never do it because, as you learned, it never works out the way we hoped or imagined.
