In 1987, when I was working for my cousin in his upholstery shop in Oceanside, CA, we visited the Palomar Mountain Observatory. It was fascinating. In the visitors center there were amazing pictures, big ones of the night sky. The tour guide showed us how to spot the planet's that were visible with the naked eye. Mars is the one I still remember.
WhWhen* our kids were young, we would take them camping at Roan MtnMtn,* Tennessee. It warmed this Dad's heart to point out Mars and see his 5 & 7 year olds "ooh" wonder when I showed them Mars. I truly miss those days, when Daddy was the keeper of all knowledge.
With teenagers, it hit and/or miss. Some days I'm wise, others I'm out of touch. It takes great effort to listen and not indulge my bad habit of dominating the conversation.
