I dropped my phone the night before the eclipse, so I didn't end up with any pictures. We went down to my Mom's house with was in totality. We could see it out of her living room window, but decided to go to the sidewalk across the street (it was one of those bulb corners). It got really cold out. I think my mom enjoyed it more than any of us.
The trip down was easy (only an extra five minutes to the hour and twenty minute drive), but on the trip back, we left at three and didn't get home until seven. And that was without sitting on the parking lot-freeway.
If you do go outside when the totality goes over you, bring a jacket. It felt like it lowered twenty degrees, especially right as it was getting the darkest. The animals (and construction workers) also went silent, and just before totality, we heard an owl.
