Packing & Moving & Storing, Oh My!
I made it back to Chicago from NJ, time flew by.
The last day was spent packing the boys up, then we went to drop some more of their stuff at a family friend's house in Wilmington, Delaware.
I've been in 9 states in the past 5 weeks! (AZ, UT, CO, WY, NM, PA, NJ, DE, IL) That's a lot of traveling.
I'll share the photos taken during the "golden hour" right before sunset on the Wilmington Riverfront soon.

Wilmington, DE - Riverfront & Gardens
We spent the evening with a family friend (hi Gail!) and went out to dinner at Joe's Crab Shack. The restaurant was perched on the Riverfront, I had my camera with me, and it was the "golden hour" right before the sun sets. Needless to say, that demanded my attention, so I hopped up after dinner to grab environmental shots.
On the way home, we decided to drive by some beautiful gardens and then to go see an old cable bridge. Above that was the coolest railroad bridge I've ever seen, monstrous and towering hundreds of feet above my head. The light was fading fast, but it was still gorgeous.
Here are a few (ok, a lot) of my favorites:

Our Hotel & Other Views
We're staying halfway between Princeton & Lawrenceville at this great hotel, the Chauncey Conference Center. This is also the home of ETS, or Educational Testing Services, the groups that makes the SAT, GRE, PSTAT, etc. The campus is HUGE and there are ponds, streams, and running trails throughout. The road into this place is quite beautiful too!
The nearest Starbucks is just up the road, right across from Princeton. So I've been viewing the school and its students on a daily basis now. :) I don't think there'll be time for a tour of the campus, but I'd sure like to see it again after all these years.
Princeton is such a great little town. There's a diverse range of restaurants, stores, and brasserie type cafe's that remind me of Paris. The people are just as diverse as the town -- I saw many students, of course, but also a lot of happy looking families, business people, and fun artist/hippie types. I wish my camera had been with me more, street photography can be a good time.
