I chose Burlington as my eclipse-viewing city because of its convenience, the length of totality, and the city's natural beautyI headed to Burlington, Vermont to watch the total solar eclipse on April 8, and even managed to snap a photo of totality.
Ellyn LapointeBurlington is the state's largest city, but with a population of only 44,000, it feels more like a big small town.
Its tree-lined streets are relatively quiet, there's hardly ever traffic, and everybody seems to know everybody.
My parents live just 20 minutes away, so I didn't have to scramble to book a pricey hotel room.
I watched the eclipse from Burlington's scenic Waterfront Park and enjoyed three minutes and 15 seconds of totality.
