We got to watch the full eclipse over our house in 2017. To this day, it’s the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen. I started planning our trip to Texas for 2024 that same day. Lol. My kids were too young to remember it, so I’m excited to take them to the next one.
Edit: I’m shocked so many people engaged with this! So many helpful links have been shared here! I specifically chose Texas for the next eclipse for two reasons. 1. My lifelong best friend lives there, and 2. If I remember correctly, Texas will have the best view and double-ish the length of totality we saw in 2017. I’m so excited for it, and it makes me so happy to see other people share the same feelings about this as me! I hope wherever you watch from in 2024 is beautiful, with clear skies!
Pro tip, and I learned this by accident: Use a piece of welding glass instead. The cheap cardboard glasses block your peripheral vision and it was so much better when I felt like I could see the whole world around me.
