Solar Eclipse: Totality in Austin

What made April 2024 even more memorable was the solar eclipse on April 8 and taking the boys to Austin for the totality. Jack and Benjamin were excited to make the trip. We made the decision spur of the moment, quickly packed for the weekend, bought our solar eclipse glasses on the way, and settled in for the event. Of course, the most fun for the boys was just hanging out at our house. Bonnie made a last-minute decision to drive to Austin, too, and she and Klein saw the eclipse with Patrick and Michael. Our spontaneous move to chase the totality was exciting for Bonnie and me, even if our kiddos could not fully grasp the significance of it all.
