We arrived at Staunton River State Park Friday evening about 7am and setup our tent for the night. As soon as we finished setting up our camp we ate some dinner we had picked up from KFC.
We left for the field where the Star Party was to take place as soon as we finished eating. It was getting dark and clouds had moved in while we got our name badges. We stopped at the first booth and watched a slide show of photos taken with a telescope and listened as he explained what we were looking at. We moved down the end of the field to the last guy and the clouds were starting to break up. We used his scope to see the moon as it peeked in and out of the clouds. We started up the back row and as we talked to the first guy there, and he started showing us constellations, the clouds dissipated and the sky opened up. As the evening progressed, we viewed several scopes and was able to see different views of the moon, Venus and other celestial bodies. The last booth had the largest scope and we viewed galaxies. My favorite was the Orion Nebula! We see Orion's Belt here but it is actually a Nebula with many stars in it. We made our way back to the campsite after 9pm and made ready for bed.
The next morning I was up early and made some coffee. I read for about an hour and had 3 cups of coffee and it started getting light. Oh yeah, Happy was not able to make this weekend, so his little brother came along.
Before breakfast, I took down the tent and packed everything in the car. For breakfast, we had Peak Refuel Breakfast Skillet with Spinach wraps.
The Peak Refuel Breakfast Skillet has enough in it for two people to have one serving each. It actually tasted good and it kept us full until lunch.
During breakfast we witnessed a beautiful sunrise and on the way home we stopped by Amy's grandparents home.
