"My brother @dougwilliamstv and I were very blasé about the eclipse until this morning when we both panicked and realized how excited we were about it. We made plans to head to a pier on the west side, and it felt like we were toddlers again. No joke here - it was just really nice. And thank you to the kind woman who gave us her extra pair of glasses. Luckily, the bossy older sister in me has learned how to share. ❤️ // 📷 @alexastern"
