Easter Weekend, 2003

We arrived in Piscataway late Thursday  afternoon.  Friday it was dark and chilly so we spent most of the day inside, except for a brisk walk. We did get a few pictures of the cherry tree in Mary's yard.

 On Friday evening, Nancy joined us from Williamsburg.  Saturday was a beautiful day, with bright sunshine and much warmer.  We went for another walk along Mary's street and the Bradford pear trees were spectacular.  At the end of the street were some beautiful forsythia bushes.

The weather was nice so everyone went outside to play down at the creek.

Easter Sunday some of the family went to the Easter service at the Princeton University Chapel.  There were activities in  the afternoon for all and a great family dinner in the evening.  Afterward people were just  sitting around.
