Millions of people will have their eyes on the sky on Monday for the solar eclipse, but one family with ties to Chicago is making a reunion out of the celestial event. They'll be traveling to southern Illinois, hoping to make memories that will last a lifetime.
Marlin now lives in Maryland, but she's returning to Southern Illinois with nearly two dozen family members for a special reunion spent in totality."It's a multigenerational thing," she said. "The young ones will remember this when the next eclipse crosses the U.S." Brian Croft of SIU said they've been preparing for this eclipse for more than two years, with hundreds expected to camp out this weekend.
"I'm looking forward to seeing Kennedy and her brother Grayson seeing the eclipse. They both are fascinated by space and the sun and the moon," she said.
