Day 27

Eclipse Day!

We had a nice breakfast at Lewis and Linda’s. At about 9:15 Craig’s friend, Eric and friend Deb, arrived after a multi day drive from the Detroit area. We all piled in their car for the 5 mile drive to the city park in Ingram. In the park is a roughly half scale replica of Stonehenge. This was where we would watch the eclipse along with hundreds of others.

The day started off very overcast but by the time we got to the park it was starting to have some openings in the clouds. Around 12:15 the moon began to start to obstruct the sun and we were able to see the process off and on during the whole eclipse. It kind of made you appreciate the visual you got every other minute when the clouds would part.

During totality it was really dark with the cloud cover making it even more so. Just an amazing experience! Afterwards we heading back to our house to hang out and see Eric and Deb off. We were treated to grilled burgers in the evening.
