Princeton Play Day

Saturday was a beautiful, sunny day, so Bobby and I took a little drive down to Princeton. We walked around the campus of Princeton University and did some window shopping in town along famous Nassau Street. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Princeton, it's a charming, upscale town that has been around since the mid-1700s. It's located in central New Jersey, about equal distance (1 hour) from Philadelphia and New York City.

 

  

  

  

  

  

  

Below is the main gate of Princeton University, opening out onto Nassau Street. Campus legend says that if a student walks through the gate before they graduate, they will not graduate with their class. Well, we didn't have to worry about that, so we strolled on through to tour the grounds..... and that's when I took this picture.
