How to watch a meteor shower
It made me
Awwed.
 "It was an amazing jaw dropping sight!"
How I did it: On my birthday, a couple of months ago, my friends threw me surprise party and then my boyfriend took me out to some back roads at the edge of town where we watched the Perseid shower. He didn't really plan it so we had a harder time finding a safe off road place to watch. We did managed to see a surprising amount of meteors though! It was probably one of the most beautiful things i've ever seen! Lessons & tips: Plan ahead and find a nice safe place to watch without too many cars going by. We could still see the glow of the city, so that made it a little harder as well. But don't go so far that you get lost. Comfy chairs and a flashlight are definitely helpful! |

It made me
Feel Wonder. 
How I did it: The local weather stations usually give us a heads up when a meteor show is about to take place. They broadcast the best times to watch the shower. The beach provides a birds-eye view, so I grab a blanket, hop in the car when the stars are falling out of the sky, and there you go! Read how I did it…

20 people (and 1 dog) at the top of the mountain, barbecue, grilled corn, lying in sleeping bags, all 20 of us going “oooh! aaaah!” every 5 minutes or so. :)

My parents took me to the desert when I was little to watch the “shooting stars.” They brought a thermos of hot chocolate and we all sat on the roof of the car to watch. It was a memorable experience I want to share with my daughter.

AGAIN… it’s been so long since I’ve been free of city light pollution. I’ll have to take a minibreak elsewhere, but isn’t it fun to plan?
I want to not just watch a meteor shower, but watch them whenever possible.

to the “giving up” area of my goal list for now. I’ll revisit it again later when it’s a bit more doable.
