Last weekend I drove Kara out to Princeton, NJ to get her all moved in to her dorm room and ready for this next year where she’ll be starting her PhD in New Testament. It was a long but fun trip and we got to eat lunch in Pekin, IL with her Mom and Great-Grandmother which was a relaxing break from the road and a welcome time of visiting and sharing a wonderful meal together. We also got to stay with family friends of the Lyons, the Nielsons, at their home outside of Mount Vernon, OH. From there we drove to Princeton, NJ and unpacked the pink Ford truck and U-Haul trailer in under an hour! Oh how I love dolleys. I was able to stay at a friend’s house near the Princeton campus (and their cat didn’t even bother me!).
The next day Kara and I took a train up to New York City and just wandered around taking it all in. Here is
my photo set of the day, and
here is hers. We got to catch the Broadway musical
Spamalot, which was GREAT! If you like Monthy Python you’d love this musical. It’s pretty much a stage adaptation of
Holy Grail, but with enough twists to make it fresh for those of us who have seen the movie a thousand times. After a long day in NYC, I got up early to head back to Kansas City (which comparatively seems like a rural farming town after experiencing the Big Apple). I miss Kara already but have already bought a plane ticket to visit again next month!
