We headed off to the Dubuque River
Museum early Monday morning. Two cars were required to haul the team. Later
Miriam and her family would head off to Chicago to get on two planes; Andy to
go to work while Miriam and the girls would go home. In the meantime Leroy and
I would head north to meet Brian in Rochester to give back the gift of his
children.
I was especially interested in seeing
the monster fish at the museum. I had been hoping that there might be an actual
monster, but the descriptions were good too. We had a group picture taken there
so I was pleased with that.
However, touching the rays pulled ahead
in popularity. It was interesting to see many of the exhibits again because I
did not remember everything.
When we arrived at the museum there
was a long line of people there hoping to see the eclipse. We did not get in
that line, but went outside just a few minutes ahead of the 90% showing.
Luckily the clouds moved aside and a museum worker came up and asked if we
would like to look through the special glasses. People were taking turns and we
did the same. It was great to see it.
Afterwards when I talked to people who
saw the 100% show, it was noticeable that they were quite excited about what
they had experienced. I made a vow that next time I would drive to be in the
right place for that. Do you imagine that I will remember and respond correctly
to it?
