Meteor Shower, Should be great
 
After midnight, as Sunday goes into Monday, we should have a great view of the Perseid meteor showers. You want to be able to see as much unobstructed sky as possible and be away from lights. While Perseus is to the northeast, any upward direction will work. Get a blanket to lie on or a chaise. No telescope or binoculars, just use your eyes. Some helpful websites include

For those who don't want to get up at midnight but are early risers, the predawn sky is a good time for meteor watching as well

I watched this the first year I was here. It is a great show. My wife thought I was crazy getting up to watch it but she came out and enjoyed it herself.

We stood on the cart path behind our house and watched it last year. It was pretty cool.
