Since the path of totality was close to us on the northeast, we took the day off work and traveled to see the eclipse. Originally, we were going to go to Syracuse, but with rain and cloud cover, that ended up being a bad choice. We quickly pivoted and ended up in Peru, NY -- very close to the Canadian border. It was such a surreal event! At totality, everything went cold and the streetlights turned on. I'm so happy that we got to experience it together -- something Chase will not forget for a long time! What hopefully he will forget is the 10 hour trip home (usually should only have been 3-3.5 hours).
