Night owl?

Sometimes it is a struggle to feel like you are getting out in the word - and not spending enormous amounts of money.  Here is an idea for you!  Events like meteor showers can be fun, free events.  I have some great memories staying up late with my mom counting the "shooting stars".  If you have kids, it is a great way to teach them about the way the universe works, maybe learn a few of the major constellations together - or make up your own.  Grab a blanket, maybe a pillow, and enjoy the night's sky.
 
There are many great sources on the internet to track meteor showers, but here is one that  I enjoy: http://www.meteorblog.com/
 
Happy meteor hunting!
