Just booked a trip to the path of totality for the August eclipse!
I'm just so ecstatic I have to share with people who I know will fully appreciate this:
I just booked plane tickets to Spain for August, to put us in the path of totality!!!! (fly into Barcelona, stay in a coastal town a little South of there)
I drove 5 hours in 2024 to take my (then 7 year old) daughter to see totality. It was also my first ever solar eclipse. It was more beautiful and magical than I ever could have imagined, and she was just mesmerized. Core memory for sure. Looking forward, I knew this year's might realistically be our only chance to see another for decades.
I convinced my husband that we had to go this year. This will be his first (we had just started dating in early 2024). He understands this is important to me, but I can tell he doesn't \*really\* get it. But he appreciates natural beauty even more than me... I know he'll thank me afterwards.
Now to pray for a bright clear day. But worst case scenario, we get a week on the beach in Spain!! #space source
