Solar Eclipse 2017

2017 New England, Family, Road Trip

When your own house is in the path of totality for the first Solar Eclipse to travel across the country from coast to coast in ninety-nine years, the best place to travel to may be your own home. When we realized that, we tweaked our Summer Ramble plans so that we would be here today. It not only gives us the chance to view the total eclipse but we can throw a party at the same time. Family and friends gathered on our deck to share snacks, drinks, snd protective eyewear. No one had fancy camera equipment, telescopes or binoculars, just eclipse glasses, an index card with a hole in it, and a colandar. We just enjoyed watching as the moon’s shadow traveled across the sun. It was awesome watching the corona appear and experiencing darkness at midday.
