What a Cool Place!!
We found out that Calico was going to have the Civil War Re-enactment so we packed up our bags and left Las Vegas so we could get there by the weekend. Although the Civil War didn’t actually take place in California, it was a good opportunity to re-enforce what Abby learned in Virginia about the Civil War. Abby even got a chance to meet "Abe Lincoln"
like leather working….
Both the Union and the Confederate troops had set up encampments in the ghost town and the streets were full of actors in costume.
Plus, since Calico is actually a working ghost town, Abby was able to experience Pioneer life with the many activities they have there –
like leather working….
and making our own rope jump ropes….

The Astronomy Club sets up their telescopes once a month at the San Diego Planetarium and lets people view the stars and moon though their high powered telescopes. This also happened to be on the day when a special Southern Stars planetarium show was put on. And it just so happened that we were in San Diego at the right time!! The show was really interesting and it was really cool to see the craters on the moon and the constellations close up after just learning about them.
