CLEVELAND (WOIO/Gray News) - A Virginia family traveled six hours to Cleveland to experience totality almost seven years after missing the partial eclipse in 2017.

WOIO reports that the Zavian Estep family traveled from Cedar Bluff, Virginia, to experience Monday’s total solar eclipse.

The family said they made the trip almost seven years after their son was born during the 2017 partial eclipse.

“Our son Zavian was actually born Aug. 21, 2017. So, I was in the hospital, and we missed the partial,” Zavian’s mother Chastidy Estep said.

Zavian and his family said making the trip to see Monday’s eclipse in totality was something special and worth it.
