In the Habit of Seeking Science

After Ashton’s swim team practice ended at 5pm, we tried a new restaurant (for us at least). We had “charburgers” and fries at The Habit.  It was a total yummy calorie fest! My favorite part was the mango limeade at the drinks station. 

The reason why we had a rare restaurant dinner visit was because we aimed to get to the local library by 5:50pm for a 6pm presentation by a researcher from the Naval Observatory on Celestial Navigation. Unfortunately the speaker was a no-show. Boo!!!!! Bad form to not show and then call to cancel at 6:05pm!!! 

Celestial Navigation…hmmm…Perhaps the speaker got lost???? (Sorry bad joke!)

We felt bad for the library staff who had set up for the event. There were 15-20 people in attendance too! Hopefully the talk will be rescheduled. 

Not about to have a ruined evening, we headed up to Lowell Observatory and got our science/space fix listening to a talk about possible life on Mars and then observing our beautiful Moon through the Clark Telescope.
