My house in Rhode Island turned out to be the perfect stargazing spot. Our friend Jay came over recently and as we sat in the yard with our citronella candles and Off bug spray at twilight, we discussed how the night before was supposed to be the perfect night to see Meteor Showers according to multiple news sites. As we were chatting, we saw a Satellite moving slowly across the sky and our excitement began. After a few mis-sightings (we do live near an airport so we determined satellites don't flash, as airplanes do), we eventually spotted 9 Satellites and 4 shooting stars!
Such a simple night turned out to be one of the most exciting of my life. I made my four wishes (one for each child) and eventually tore myself away around midnight for bed. I can't wait to do it again. If you have the opportunity to just sit outside, look up. You may just be surprised at how beautiful it might be. *Jasmine

So glad you got to do this! I tried both nights since it was the anniversary of my PawPaw's death... but being in the middle of downtown Orlando has its disadvantages (namely you can't see the stars or meteor showers!) Despite even keeping all blinds open all night (you know my condo is mostly ceiling to floor windows)... we saw nothing. :( Oh well... my PawPaw paid you a visit instead through twinkling lights! xoxo
