I'm glad you were able to see something.  I have some friends who went to Fredericksburg.  They had some light cloud cover as well.

We got luckier in the 2017 eclipse.  I took these using a 300mm lens and full-frame DSLR.  Two-different exposures.

   We went to south-central Indiana and ended up (as planned, basically) in a dead-center spot two miles west of a tiny place named Morgantown, stopping at the best large wide-open area we could find (a large farm field). No one else around.

   We had the glasses, very basic digital cameras, and my super high-tech eclipse location system (see last photo, with arrow). Aside from some minor thin hazy cloud cover everything was about perfect, with just over four full minutes of total eclipse. The almost 200 mile return journey was not nearly so fast or simple!
