Princeton

Mike had to go to Princeton again to work on the Praxis test. (He went last July.) We decided that I would go with him this time. With help from my wonderful mother we were able to leave all 5 children and take this little trip on our own.

We left Thursday morning and got into Princeton about 6:30 local time. We were able to have dinner with some of the others on the committee. Friday and Saturday Mike was in meetings from about 9-5 so I got to wonder around Princeton, relax, nap, and read. We did go to Princeton together Friday night and walked around and did a little shopping. I ate at a place called My Panera, it was very good. The closest one to me here is in Denver or Las Vegas. I may not get to go back there for awhile. I also got to take a tour of Princeton University. It was neat to see and learn about the programs that are offered. I felt a bit out of place, but it was good.

We then left just after noon to head back home. We got home about 9:30 at night. Mom seemed to have survived. :) Thank you mom.

Here are some pictures of our trip:

This is where the Princeton University Pres. lives.


This is inside the Cathedral on campus. It seats 2000, one of the largest Cathedrals on a campus. (It might be THE largest, but it might just be the second largest.)

These are 2 bridges that we passed. I just thought that they were cool looking. Don't see many of them around here. :)

Hi there, Mike and Becky!
I'm Angela, from Portugal...
I just stopped by to say (even though this post has nothing to do with it) you have a wonderful family!
I have a little boy, he's almost 4 months old and he's a very sweet lad. I hope life will let me have at least as many children as you have but for now things are a bit rough since I have no job and we don't have much income... Even though I'm very, very happy!
You have such a lovely family, congrats on that!
Oh and little Julia really is tiny but she might just make it. My prayers will go to her and her parents as well since I can't do more than that.
Well I've written too much already, I always do that xD

Love and a big smile for you and your family!
Angie

Ain't no need to watch where I'm going, just need to know where I've been.
