PI Day!

Pi day was a big thing here in Princeton, they did a lot of things to celebrate it. We didn't know about the festivities and missed most of it over the weekend but Jake learned of a tour on 3.14 around Princeton all about Einstein and so took a lunch break on a beautiful day to do it.

This is the only memorial in North America dedicated to Einstein. We learned some fun things about him, like how quirky he was. On rainy days he would carry an umbrella, but it wouldn't be open. He didn't like socks and wouldn't wear them. He never learned how to drive a car, he walked and biked everywhere.
This memorial was tucked in the back of a random wool shop.
This was Einstein's house. Not too far from ours. It is not open to the public. Supposedly another Nobel Peace Prize winner lives there. They told us on Halloween he dresses up as Einstein and hands out candy. Hm, we just might.And of course, we just had to top it all off with some pie!

I love how Kate's skirt falls off of her skinny hips. Even with an elastic waistband! So funny.
I definitely think you should trick/treat at Einsteins' house!

I was really tempted to make pie this day! Glad you did! (And I think the elder on the left looks like Jake!)

That is very fun to see Einstein's house. Trick or treating is a must.
