Dark Sky Trip

Korra has been interested in the night sky for years but she's been asking to go somewhere we can see the stars better for a few months. I checked and there is only one Dark Sky Certified place in the southeastern US- 5 hours south of us in the Okefenokee Swamp. I checked the lunar calendar and it looks like the next weekend new moon is in October (during Korra's fall break), so I booked us 2 nights in a cabin in the state park there. I am not interested in tent camping in a swamp filled with alligators but I am interested in seeing so many stars!  Hopefully it will be really amazing- we'll do some astronomy research before we go!
