I grew up
spending summers in Montana, and one of my favorite things was when my
whole family (that’s a lot of us) piled into our ugly (no really, it
has brown shag on the dash) 1985 Suburban and went out to the middle of
nowhere (even more middle of nowhere than we already were in) to watch
for satellites and shooting stars. Add the beach, some food, and
sparklers, for an equally fun (if slightly more organized) summer
get-together for everyone.
