2021 Lunar Eclipse Road Trip – Planning

I’ve become a little obsessed with the moon in recent years. Hard to say when it started exactly, but perhaps it was enjoying looking at the full moon when we caught it right, bright in the sky, when driving on our many road trips. With a lifetime mostly spent in New York City, watching the […]
