Drive 7 hours to see Aunt Debbie and Granddad in Ashville, NC. Drive an additional hour to see Uncle Pat and Aunt Fifi in Landrum, SC. Drive a final hour to The Beach Club to see totality.
The ExecutionRoute 81 (and most other travel) involved Granddad Johnson and 3 million of our other 'friends' in Washington, DC, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and other areas driving to the swath of totality. This added about 1 hour to the drive to and from DC and about 2-3 hours from the eclipse back to Landrum, SC. Uncle Pat was a great sport and even took us for pizza afterwards.
The EclipseThe totality was totally worth it. We had glasses so we could look at the event in progress. We also made a pinhole viewer which amused everyone (mostly that it actually worked!). Then, during totality we got to look without the glasses.
The Venue
The kids will remember the water slides, the free paddle boarding, and the pools more than the eclipse. A few pictures below.
