Special solar filter sunglasses are required to directly observe a Solar Eclipse. However, even if it is overcast that day, from 1 to 1:30 you may notice a slight change in the behavior of the local wildlife along the Barnegat Bay.
The personalized burgee that you will see on our invitations was designed by Woody and me. The blue and white flag represents the letter A for Arrix. In the middle of the flag, there is a cypress tree and a gold star. These symbolize Pebble Beach, where we met, and the United States Naval Academy. It resembles the configuration of a Charleston palmetto moon, which is where Caroline attended college.
Unfortunately, children are not permitted at either event.
