The US appearance of the complete solar eclipse turned into a frenzy for all in its path and many beyond its path. For good reason too. It is truly a extraterrestrial wonder and its still summertime so many kids are free of school obligations which it made a great stopover along family vacations. It is such a rare occasion that the question lent more to “how could you not look to the sky”?
Annapolis sits in the 80% band of North America so we merely had to find open sky and hope the weather would hold. While Kris worked a DC event, Leslie brought Ryder to my office to watch from the deck in Eastport. Cereal boxes in hand, Ryder seemed excited to see the spectacle (in reality he just like playing with the box). The streets were lined with sky watchers as the lights dimmed but Ryder’s nose sought out the “Eclipse Cookie” table at the nearby Annapolis Maritime Museum.
