Why do we call it Apogee Mammoth?
When we were choosing a name for our new place, our family brainstormed lots of options but easily and quickly settled on Apogee. Why? Because it perfectly describes our the home itself (of course, Apogee is just the tops for ski homes with its prime location and exceptional builder) but also what we love as a family.
My husband, a test pilot, has dreamt of space and its exploration for most of his life. In fact, I have a photo of him at 6 months old, holding the Chicago Tribune special edition of the moon landing. We still have that newspaper hanging in our home today, more than 50 years later. Maybe that photo wasn't his idea, but over his life, he developed a true love affair with space and its pursuit.
With a dad like that, how could our kids not love astronomy? We have traveled widely to find dark sky and to chase astronomical events like the eclipse of 2107. And when we are home, one of our favorite things to do is to search the night sky. One of my sons, an avid photographer, experiments with astrophotography. Some of the photos in our homes were taken by him.
