Sunsets and Stargazing
This family's experience:

Activities: We spent the day at the park, watching the sunset, having a picnic, and stargazing. The kids played on the beach, and we even saw a dead turtle

Highlights: The kids loved playing on the beach, and we all enjoyed the beautiful sunset and stargazing. My kids and I stood on the beach, mouths hanging open, staring at a planet 225 million kilometers away ✨
