On Monday we watched the solar eclipse from our front yard with above 99% totality. With Wes hating crowds and me hating traffic there was no chance we were leaving our house. Luckily Wes didn't have to go into work in the morning so we got to experience it all together.
We sat in our front yard, eating nectarines, shouting "TOTALITY!" every few minutes, laughing and goofing around. It was the best!
It was amazing to watch the shadow bands and crescent shaped shadows from the leaves when the eclipsed reached near totality.
Afterwards I saw some pictures taken from some of my friends that were in places that reached 100%. They were so different from even where we were at that I almost wished we drove to a totality zone, almost.
I read online afterwards that a solar eclipse happens about every 18 months, with the next total eclipse happening July 2nd 2019 in the South Pacific. 😎
