Bob and his family took Charlotte and I into NYC for a day or so too. On the route to NYC we made a quick detour to Princeton University where my brother did his masters and PhD. It was so much fun for me because it brought back great memories of when I last visited that campus. It was almost 13 years go when he graduated and we came out to support him. I don't have any other connection to that university besides my brother but I remember loving walking around that campus because it had such beautiful buildings and landscaping. Its like walking into the "old world." Its rich history was one of my favorite things to experience when I first visited and it was nice to get to see it again. We only spent a little while but it was super fun.
These are the student dorms. Ummm... cool! Its like living in a castle. Don't get me wrong, I am a True Blue Cougar (Go BYU!) all the way, but something about these make me revert to my pre-teen day dreams of Princesses and Princes living in castles.
The open window in this tower is said to be the one that the professor/math genius/schizophrenic featured in the movie, "A Beautiful Mind," is said to have thrown his desk from. It is a true story and my brother said that the man still teaches at the university.
The rest of these pictures are of buildings I have no idea what they are used for but are beautiful and picturesque non-the-less.
Gates into the University.
Charlotte poses as F. Scott Fitzgerald (from Princeton) for some hopeful extra credit with her English teacher.
My brother is pretty much a genius like Einstein. However, with less hair.

I went to Princeton when I was a Senior in High School for a conference and stayed in those dorms. It is a gorgeous campus.
