The peak of the Perseid Meteor Shower is tonight. Unfortunately, the forecast in our area calls for clouds and chance of thunderstorms starting early evening. Plus, we live in an area where there's too much light pollution. We'd need to drive westward to get darker skies.
If the conditions do become favorable for us, I'd really like to treat my little ones to the show. I think they'd get a real kick out of it. I think it was circa 1986 when camping that I had my first and only full viewing of the showers. Mother of goodness was it amazing.
