STANFORD BIKE DAY!

View from the top of the Hoover tower.

Sue and I riding bikes around the round about in front of the Hoover Tower.

Snuck a picture with a girl after she just got done taking her horse out for a ride.

We should have taken off our long sleeves and we could have matched and been Christmas colors....oh man. Our matching shirts are green and our bikes are red :)

This was Diamond...and she wanted a treat!

This is in front of the bells that play about three times a month. However the are broken right now :(

This is at the top of Hoover Tower....named after Herbert Hoover.

Trying to show my husband that I am strong....I might have gained a few inches...but he still has big muscles :) We are in front of the Gates of Hell....very interesting piece of work.

This is where I would have been married if I went to Stanford!!!! It was a beautiful courtyard!

If Seth would have taken off that black long sleeve shirt...he would have matched his wife that day...we bought matching shirts at Yosemite and we would have had the same shirt and same bike that day...it was adorable in my head! Seth lucked out because it was kind of chili that day, so he had an excuse to keep on the black shirt. Though deep down I knew he wanted to match me :) Do you see Sue's cute bike behind us!

It was weird being on a college campus again...and I don't think it should feel weird just yet. Maybe it was the beauty and atmosphere that Stanford had, I just felt smarter being there :) Seth and I rented bikes (Stanford is very biker friendly) and Sue and her boyfriend Luise ( sorry if I spelled your name wrong...my spelling is what kept me from getting into Stanford...haha) ,..... who did actually go to Stanford, brought their own bikes. Sue had an adorable seafoam green bike and her outfit matched her bike, Debbie you would have loved how they matched :) We visited some art work that was on campus, we watched potential Olympic divers practicing between the ages of 8-14 I would guess. That was very interesting, they actually use the trampoline with the harness that pulls you up higher when you jump to help them practice their diving. As well as diving boards that go into a pit of mats. We went up to the top of the Hoover tower, that had a beautiful view of the campus and the bay! We rode over to the stables and got to pet the horses...but after we went through the stables we noticed a sign....guess what it said....you guessed it....glad I didn't see the sign before though because I really liked petting all the horses :) We also saw a girl doing all that horse whispering stuff as she was training her horse that was very interesting to watch...they must really have a tight bond. Then we went to the coffee house and got a Latte...where I saw Chelsea Clinton, Tiger Woods, and Reece Witherspoon picture up on the wall because they also went to Stanford! Then we went home and Aunt Billie made us a pie from her own lemons that were grown out front...we played Skip-bo, watched American Idol and LOST the rest of the night!!! What a great day!!! Thanks Sue for all you have done for us!!!
