Wednesday, February 20, 2008 - Lunar Eclipse...

Driving home from the game tonight, I get a call from my mother.."Did you forget the Lunar Eclipse tonight?"   Well, uh, yes... I did...

So, we pull over into the parking lot at the Pilot and hop out and gaze up at the sky... Luckily for us it was only 9:56pm... so we had just made it...

We were able to observe the eclipse (which seemed to last forever, but I think that was just because it was chilly and we were standing in a gas station parking lot looking up at the sky, while other people thought we were nuts, I am sure)... *L*

The kids loved seeing the "orange-red" tint... and I myself was very happy to have not missed it, as the next one won't be visible in the US until 2010...
