Princeton pictures from Sunday afternoon before we headed for home. I think Jackson has recovered.
We had a great time, and our kids did surprisingly well. Our Varsity LDer and one of our JV LDers, Ben Nelson, were one win away from breaking into final rounds. All of our folks got good speaker points. There's no experience to compare with a tournament with 800 schools in it. This weekend when we have a WACFL tournament at Westfield High School, we'll be fresh from Princeton and loaded for bear.
The Princeton campus itself is worth the trip. It looks like they could have shot the Harry Potter movies there...after all, the debating society that ran the tournament was founded by Woodrow Wilson. I also want to put in a good word for the Candlewood Suites hotel where we stayed. They very kindly moved their breakfast up an hour earlier than usual, so we could get to the competition on time Saturday morning.
