Our itinerary today was to visit Stanford University, where Scott has his fellowship classes. We met Scott, Ellen, Mary & Audrey at the bus stop across California Avenue from our hotel. They caught the bus at their bus stop outside their condo. We arrived at Stanford in no time.
Stanford is a beautiful, Spanish-style school. There are many quads with arches all around. There are many buildings housing the various colleges, libraries and book stores. There are fountains all over and, of course, beautiful flowers. These Californians certainly love their flowers. Scott showed us his fellowship office and the library. Ellen showed us the book store.
That afternoon Ellen & the girls baked a cake for Grandpa's birthday party. After Audrey's nap, Ellen, Audrey and I went for a walk to see the pretty homes in Palo Alto. When we returned, it was time to frost the cake and then go to a restaurant for supper. We went to Pro Bono Restaurant, an Italian restaurant. The food was fabulous.
Then it was time for Grandpa's birthday party. We went back to Ellen's for dessert, which was German chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. Joe blew out all his candles, we ate the cake and he got his cards and present. All in all, it was a wonderful day.
UPDATE: Joe says he woke up at 8:18, not 9:00.
