Timeless Cape May New Jersey

We spent the 4th of July in Cape May New Jersey again this year and I have to tell you...being there for an encore celebration was absolutely no disappointment. Last year I shared with you all of the lovely Victorian architecture of this quaint seashore town, (click here to see images) so this year I am sharing with you the more subtle side of this beautiful corner of these amazing United States. (I did take a few artistic liberties in editing my images...I hope you enjoy them.)

Fabulous Princeton Univeristy

Princeton University is a private, Ivy League, research college located in beautiful Princeton New Jersey. Last Thursday we spent the afternoon just roaming around this amazing and historic campus.

The university was founded in 1746 in Elizabeth N.J. as the college of New Jersey, then moved to Newark, N.J. in 1747 and then to Princeton in 1756. The university was renamed Princeton University in 1896.

The architecture of Princeton's extraordinary buildings spans four centuries and includes a variety of architectural styles.

Styles of architecture include colonial, Collegiate Gothic, Italianate, Romanesque and modern.

Below is a upshot of Nassau Hall, the oldest building on campus.

This is the front of the Princeton University Chapel.

The chapel, which is more cathedral like to me, decorated for the holidays.

The next photo is of the Firestone memorial Library.

Our day in Princeton was so enjoyable that even Michael and Grace loved the time they spent walking around the campus. Of course they were absolutely convinced they were at the Hogwarts School of Harry Potter fame!

Wishing you all a safe and wonderful new year!!!

Time in Cape May ~ New Jersey

Time in quaint Cape May is time spent immersed in the Victorian era.

From the beaches, hotels and summer cottages...

...to the gorgeous homes and local trolley cars...

Cape May is a slice of a much simpler time.

A time to relax and take things slowly...

...to stop and marvel at the architecture and beautiful hydrangeas.

Where all you need to do on a summer day's late afternoon is to take a leisurely stroll down one of it's beautifully tree lined streets...

...or sit and listen to the big brass band play their wonderful old-time tunes...

...and watch little girls dance around to the music.

There is time to enjoy the beach just as night falls...

...and take in the spectacular fireworks!

This is what time is like in this quaint Victorian coastal town.

I hope you enjoyed your trip through the splendor of Cape May New Jersey

Have a wonderful weekend!!!
