Friday April 5, 2024 - Jim & Jeanene flew into Indianapolis this morning for eclipse weekend! We played games, walked to town to watch the Iowa vs UConn women's basketball game and caught up, since we haven't seen them in 3 whole weeks!
Gotta get a bridge pic!
After a few beers at Broad Ripple Brew Pub, we headed to Plumps

Vietnamese Stew
Sunday April 7, 2024 - Today was an eating extravaganza! We walked to Rene's for pastries for breakfast, then Skyline Chili for lunch and a walk to Cake Bake for dessert. We hardly had room for dinner.
we love Rene's pastries
Skyline!
AND Cake Bake
We each picked out a slice. I always love the red velvet
Monday April 8, 2024 - It's eclipse day! We decided to set up in the meadow of our townhouse complex. We thought it would be convenient to be close, so we could walk back and forth to the house. We were the first to set up and the last to leave! Can't wait to see Jim's pics!
Crazy sky, with lots of contrails
We're headed to the meadow
It was a beautiful day, 77 degrees and mostly clear.

Kevin took some nice pics with the phone camera filter that came with our eclipse glasses

looks like a perfect eclipse?
the lights came on in the complex, it got 10 degrees cooler and it got quite dark
I took this pic during the 3.5 minutes of totality. You can see Venus below the sun
