A Saturday in Princeton

 

Most Saturdays involve a morning of errands and shopping.  There is almost always a trip to McCaffrey's for groceries and often a stop at CVS for prescriptions.  Sometimes we make a trip to the library to pick up my requests. And later in the day we cheer for the Irish when there is a Notre Dame football game on TV.

But this week there was no game.  We made just a one stop trip to McCaffrey's. And then we had an afternoon and early evening of adventure.

We drove ten minutes to Jeff and Susan's house and they drove to the Princeton campus on surprisingly busy roads.  They had tickets to the 5 pm PUB show--Princeton University Ballet--in which Katie was dancing.  It was so good to have them know their way around and for us to be able to follow their lead. Katie was in only one number this semester due to her busy schedule as a Mechanical Engineering PhD, living off campus, and teaching a class.  But as always, it was a great show of amazing dancers and the best number for us was the one in which we got to see Katie. (modern dance, not ballet and very lively!)

From there we walked across campus to Birdivirsity--an opening reception for photos of birds in which Susan had two photos accepted.  It was great to see the enlarged photos with her descriptions. We were proud in-laws!

Again, we were happy to have transportation provided as we headed to Nassau Diner, a restaurant right across from our church that we had never noticed.  With breakfast served all day, there was a variety of good choices and we all had delicious suppers.  

Jeff and Susan have been so good in welcoming us to their home town for the last four years and we are grateful to be able to share in their lives here.
