In the morning, we drove our way to DC. On the way, we stopped at Princeton University for a little bit. We first went to a coffee shop called “Small World Coffee” and apparently Albert Einstein also went there when he was a student at Princeton. 

The second I walked into the coffee shop I felt so much smarter and I thought I was like Einstein Jr. or something. I didn’t get anything because I wasn’t in the mood but my dad did get a coffee, so here’s a photo of the logo.

After that, we went to the Nassau Hall and got a couple of pictures in (don’t mind my goofy face, I didn’t know what was going on).

There wasn’t anything special about this hall. Maybe this is because the expectation bar was set too high due to how good-looking the other universities were. Also, because it was burning hot outside, I was just not happy about anything. Also because of that reason, the Nassau Hall was one of the two things that I went to see.

Then we went to see a statue of Albert Einstein’s head.

There was also this other monument near it called The Princeton Battle Monument, which I thought was really cool because the most exciting things about history are the wars.

After visiting these few sites we returned to the car where the air conditioning was. I felt so much better then. We continued our drive to DC.

When we arrived at DC, we went directly to the National Museum of National History. At this museum, there were many cool things that stole my attention but I will be only explaining to you guys a few. If y’all are truly interested y’all can go there yourselves; you don’t need tickets or reservations.

First of all, when we just entered there was this large crystal which was really interesting. It is called the Berns Quartz.

Another thing that got me interested was this large elephant(specimen) on the first floor. I didn’t know why it was there but I knew for sure that it was really hard to turn this humongous elephant into a specimen, and that’s what made me like it. 

One last thing that I’ll be showing you, readers, is this lab that you can see through from the glass wall. The scientists there were investigating fossils. The one that was there today was particularly focusing on small fossils.

And that was it for today! Stay tuned and keep up tomorrow!
