last night I spent an hour on the ground looking up at the stars… what a great ending to my camping trip… below is the birthday boy and his mom…

  
he and I spotted the space station and two satellites… we checked out some constellations and talked about the Perceids meteor shower which they should be able to see during the week…

during the night there were skunks, raccoons and even a wolf wandering around… my daughter and I didn’t sleep so well with all the wildlife visits, but my son-in-law slept through it all, lol…

after breakfast we spent some time at the beach and fishing… watched a bald eagle sitting on the top of a tree across from the beach, which was one of the few places where you could usually connect with the Internet… the campsites were not so good for that… 

  
my daughter and I headed home around 4:30… about half way here the phone started to beep and ping as Facebook, Instagram and all my other apps started to reconnect, lol… 

stopped at the Half Moon for a burger and shared a few fries and onion rings…

watered my plants and watched a lovely dragonfly on the window’s edge…

 
had a great time, but happy to be home… not expecting any wildlife bothering me tonight…
