Lick Observatory

One day at Costco I bought a lemon tree. John was excited and planted it the next Saturday. After he finished, we all went up the long, windy road to the observatory. They have free tours every day before five and John's wanted to go for years.
 The telescope was cool, but the most impressive part is how they brought up the pieces years ago and assembled them without modern technology. People used to ride their wagons 5+ hours up the road to see it.

You could see forever.
 It was a warm day, but up there it felt cooler in the wind.
 Scott thoroughly enjoyed himself.
It's a cool place and I recommend visiting if you don't mind windy roads or windy weather.
