We traveled about 4 hours today to be in a totality zone for today's solar eclipse. You can see below - it got quite dark during the ~2 minutes of totality. Sunset colors appeared on the horizon, crickets started chirping, and Venus was visible in the sky.
My Favorite Munchkins wore their solar system t-shirts, and I wore this really fantastic solar system necklace. (It even includes Pluto: still a planet when I was learning astronomy growing up!) I love it completely. Aren't we awesome???
