So cool. |
We had a great time. And the weather rocked here! SX was cloudy and rainy.
Sharing photos back and forth with friends across the US was awesome. This is what FB was meant to do. |
SC not SX |
We had fun too! Kids and I made the pinhole projector, learned a lot on the NASA website, ran around in tinfoil hats and took some interesting pictures of the shadows and projections. Great day. Didn't have glasses. It it didn't matter. |

More enjoyable than expected. We went to a national park site that was supposed to have free glasses and a lecture. They had 100 glasses and maybe 1500 people. While it was initially a bit hunger gamesish with people angling to get glasses it ended up with big groups sharing a pair, and also sharing their other viewing devices. Very sociable and friendly and seeing the eclipse through the glasses, even though were were in the 65% range, was worth it. |
We were at a park and people shared glasses. |
I agree. Watched on the roof at work with coworkers and it was a nice communal experience. If only we had more of those! |
I'm not well so only travelled from my bed to my living room couch for the big event. I watched CNN's coverage and was thrilled to see Oregon, Kentucky and South Carolina.
It was great to see how enthusiastic people were. |
We were in Columbia, SC and it was the coolest thing. Totality was amazing. |
Feel better soon. |
No, it wasn't. |
I'm in Nashville and seeing totality was AMAZING! My son loved it, and it was just fantastic. |
We had a great time. We made a day of it and went to a science museum, saw a show about the sun, looked around the museum, and then looked at the eclipse through the safety glasses. Then we went for a very late lunch. It was nice being out and about and I think my kids will remember it. |
+1 - we are in Charleston and totality was incredible. We were worried about clouds but they held off. So so glad we made this trip. |
