I saw it, or at least a glimpse through the trees on our wooded lot. Myself, wife, 9 year old daughter and 6 year old son standing in the driveway with our two dogs wide awake trying not to mis this once in a lifetime event.
Honestly, I never fully appreciate these events as I should, I try not to let on to my kids but I resent the missed sleep and fact that the dogs are now expecting me up for the day. I can appreciate the level of knowledge that it takes to fully in understand and predict these celestial movements but the full grandeaur is lost on me.
We left my 11 year old sleeping, no one wants to disturb a pre-teen in the wee hours of the morning.
