The Death Bridge...

... and other assorted goodies! My Alpha Chi little sister, Kristen, and my grandlittle, Alex came up to visit me recently and we had a delightful weekend. On Saturday, I took them up to Princeton for brunch. It was a typical cold, rainy, fall day, which made the trip to Princeton that much better because I believe Princeton is best enjoyed in that weather. The trees are amazing- black tree trunks and bright orange leaves. We enjoyed breakfast at PJs Pancake House, a Princeton staple. Unfortuantely, their machine that makes their unbelieveable orange freeze drinks (they taste like orange creamiscle posicles) was out of order!! I had to have a plain ol' root beer float instead :(

Both Alex and Kristen got mini makeovers at Blue Mercury. That's where we found the coolest candle. It was called "tree house". Although wise Kristen says, "You really shouldn't burn candles in a tree house, thats a fire hazard". Awesome.

After Princeton we wandered down to Washington Crossing but since it was raining, decided not to get out of the car and continued into Pennsylvania. We were forced to cross the death bridge (see above) in order to get there. One of the most horrific experiences of my life. :)

Once we made it to Philadelphia we stopped by City Tavern and enjoyed their beer sampler of receipes from Washington, Jefferson, Hamilton, and Franklin. It was delish! We finished off the night with the Gator football game, another win of course! Go Gators!!
