Griffith Park Observatory


A couple of weeks ago Garett took the family to Griffith Park Observatory. Jake has mentioned lots of different things that he would like to be when he grows up. Everything from firefighter, teacher, and of course, our favorite, was the day he told us that he wanted to be a strawberry picker( that's a funny story that I would love to tell you....call me) Anyways, Jake has also expressed and interest in being an astronaut. He loved seeing the exhibits in the museum. His favorite was the one where we could see how much each of us weighed on the different planets. Can I just say that I wish I weighed what I do on Pluto. We had a great time checkin' everything out. Outside on the front lawn there were many different telescopes pointing in different directions. It was a very clear night so we were able to see Mars, the moon, a red star, Orion's Nebula and of course we enjoyed the Los Angeles city lights also. We had a wonderful time together.
