Last week I told you the Suzie Homemaker family was going on a mini vacation to see the Solar Eclipse. We were first going to go to Missouri but at the last minute were offered a place to stay in Kentucky. This man who knows my husband through his blog was a very gracious host, and let us stay for three nights at his mother’s and father’s Bed and Breakfast for free. The Bed and Breakfast have not been used for many years because his mother is now passed on and his father is in a nursing home. His brothers and sisters now use it to entertain guests when needed. Here are some beautiful pictures of the place that we stayed at. We each had our own rooms and bathrooms.
We had to drive for a little over 9 hours to get to Kentucky, but it was well worth it. The Solar Eclipse was two hours our away from where we were to the totality zone. We were in Princeton Kentucky for the Solar Eclipse. We were able to meet several different people from all over the United States viewing the eclipse. We started watching the sky an hour before the total eclipse with our special glasses. This was really fascinating to watch. As the totality got closer the sky stated getting darker. When totality occurred we were able to take off the glasses for 2 minutes and 20 seconds which we timed out to be on the safe side to protect our eyes. We could see the stars at 1:30 in the afternoon. The birds started flying away and the crickets started chirping. Then we watched the sun coming back and the daylight returning. The whole Solar Eclipse lasted a little over an hour and a half. This was a great thing to view with our two girls and they will always remember this for the rest of their lives and we will too. Here’s some picture we took of the solar eclipse.
We came home with many memories and picture to carry with us for a very long time. The next time you travel I recommend you check out some Bed and Breakfast places to stay at. These places are so homey and the old antiques are just beautiful. I hope you enjoyed my mini vacation to see the Solar Eclipse from Suzie Homemaker.
