California Visit Friday

We had a quick extend weekend get away to visit family and friends in California. The first day we were there we went to Visitors day at Kate's school to see all about Kate's class. An added bonus to this was that Nicole (Kate's mom and Heidi's sister was working at this school today, She is the counselor here and at another elementary school) was there too. This was a neat opportunity for the boys to see where their cousin goes to school. Kate was so excited and ready for us to visit. She had her agenda all ready. First there was a tour of the room, then a craft, then she read us a book, and then free play. Our whole really enjoyed our visit with Kate!


After our visit with Kate we headed over for a drive around Stanford University since we were close by and Baron had not been there before. We could have gotten out of the car and did walking tour of the campus but did not want to search for parking so we just took a couple of photos of special spots. We drove the campus loop around.
Above is the Hoover Tower which you can go up in and get a 360 degree view of the area.
Below is a view looking down to the Memorial quad that leads to the Main quad in front of the Memorial Church. Will have to come back sometime and do a tour.
Next we headed over to the Hiller Aviation Museum. This was also nearby. Not a whole lot of hands on stuff for the boys but we still enjoyed ourselves.

Looks like you guys had a grand time! I used to work at the Memorial Quad when I worked at Stanford in the 80"s. I worked in the Computer Science Dept. Oak Knoll is a great school!
