my son is obsessed with everything in the sky right now, especially the moon and stars. so much so that he asks my husband to carry him out every night before bed to look for both. he gets so thrilled when he finds them and recently he slipped outside in his pajamas (frantically stopping to find shoes) to look for them on his own. when he found them he started running in circles while looking straight up shouting as loud as he could "i found it, i found it, i found the moon!" i don't know how he didn't fall down, but it was one of the sweetest things i've ever seen him do. it's a memory i'll probably have forever. kids are great at making you take a moment to stop and look around.
that moment inspired me to add a little night life to his room...

and i didn't get that trip to the beach, but we made it to the aquarium and i was mesmerized by these beauties.
Even in my thirties I still am full of wonder when looking up at the night sky. Thank you so much for including my star trail photo in your post :-)
