Princeton, New York, DC...

Heather and Harpreet kindly opened their home to us for a long weekend in Princeton, NJ.  It was a busy full house with Heidi and Jason also in town from Grand Rapids.  Anyone who has spent time with the Camps knows that this means fun!  I (Molly) spent the weekend with the fam in Princeton enjoying games, walks, talks, food, and bars with Heather and Harpreet's wonderful community.  Heather, Heidi, and I made our way into New York City for an afternoon stroll along the High Line a fun night out in Brooklyn enjoying the amazing view, beers, laughs, and backgammon.
