I was fortunate to live just 30 miles from the totality zone so we drove down this morning. We were blessed with perfect weather- not a cloud in the sky.

We were not at the center, so we had just over a minute of totality, but it was worth every second. I wish I was a poet, so I could describe how amazing it was. The minutes leading up to it were surreal. Then the sudden dimming, as day turned to twilight.

This morning's experience truly made me feel connected to our solar system. I felt like I was on another world where the sun was dimmer than our own. This was a real bucket list moment and I'm so happy that I got to experience it.

drinks for everyone!
