A trip to the east

Stan had a conference in Princeton, New Jersey the first week of October and so I tagged along. His conference started on Tuesday but we flew there Saturday and were tourists on Monday :)

This was our gourmet Sunday dinner in the hotel :) Nothing quite like canned soup!
We headed to Philadelphia to see what we could. It was quite inspiring to be where the founding fathers of our country have been





Of course we had to try some real Philly Cheesesteaks for lunch!




supposedly this alley (Elfreth's Alley) full of houses is one of the oldest residential streets in the United States.

We went to the church where some of the constitutional writers went. We happened to sit in the same bench as the Franklin's would sit...woowoo.



The rest of the week we just enjoyed hanging out in Princeton. On Thursday though we headed to Washington Crossing State Park in Delaware. It was really neat. We had spent some time listening to 1776 and so with the full story fresh in our minds, it was again inspiring to be where such sacrifice for freedom was given.
