Yesterday’s total solar eclipse was definitely magical – the moment of totality was one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. (And probably ever will see.) Being on Lake Murray to view it is a memory that will last a lifetime.

I hope y’all had an awesome experience too. We loved seeing all the photos. (Keep ‘em coming 👉 #COLAtoday.)
