Im glad the weather worked out for yall. I traveled 1300 miles total to see it in a random park 20 miles north of dayton Ohio with my daughter. It definitely is a to-do, or a 'to-mark-off' the ol' bucket list. August 2045 is most Americans next real chance to see it. For those that make it that long, i suggest going. Its definitely worth it. And dont worry about photography. The skilled camera men and woman can handle it. I suggest; * Record your surroundings more than the extreme details of the sky. * Embrace the moment with family and friends. * Take note of nature. And educate yourself beforehand and critique the experience yourself. For me, it wasn't a life changing epiphany or anything like that. But it was extremely fulfilling. To know that I saw it and was able to guarantee my daughter seeing it on top of it being worth the trouble to get under it, checked it off my very worthy but also blurry bucket list. I won't make it to the next one over our great country. So yall b Ez and maybe consider taking a vacation to see an extremely beautiful and unique thing the laws of physics does everyonce in awhile. That is... If ya make it that long of course 😅
