It would've been impossible not to appreciate the path and awe of the solar eclipse we had - even for a non-science person like myself.
Our kids go to an amazing school that not only made sure everyone had the proper glasses, they pulled the entire middle and high schools out to observe and celebrate the natural wonder of it all.
Once we began to feel the air cool, the sky darken and shadows change before our very eyes, we knew it was truly something to behold.
Later in the day, I heard someone on the news say, "It was such a big event, it was like Woodstock...for nerds" making me laugh at the thought, then smile.
Even though memories of petri dishes and microscopes from high school still make my head want to spin, I was beyond glad to witness the eclipse with family and friends...and can only hope to one day have the chance to do it all over again.
