We wanted a relaxing day. We wanted to do something that we’ve never done before. Enter Princeton, NJ. Located about 45 minutes away, we packed up the car and decided to pay a visit. In the three years that we’ve been here, we’ve passed by Princeton several times, but never did we actually get out of the car to walk around (let alone plan a day trip to the prestigious college town).

Once we parked, we quickly took advantage of several shops that offered many good eats. As we tried to walk-off our grilled cheese sandwich, 3 scoops of ice cream, and coffee, we took little Tiger to visit the home of the Princeton Tigers (which we all agreed looked very much like the campus at Monster’s University).

As we made our way back to the parking garage to head home (after eating another 2 scoops of ice cream), we noticed a park in the distance (it seemed very far after walking roughly 2 miles already), so we thought it’d be nice to continue our stay since the weather was so favorable. For whatever reason, as kids, we never really played with kites, but Mama thought it seemed like a good idea to let Tiger try it out. Surprisingly, Mama actually was able to put the kite together, and even more surprising, Dada actually had enough energy left in his legs to get the kite airborne. With the kite in the air and Tiger smiling from ear to ear, Princeton seemed to have won over a future Tiger.
