Owen and Jorina were fantastic hosts for our three-day visit, showing us all around the area and helping us get a real sense of what daily life is like there. We toured around Stanford campus, where Jorina works, and checked out the tailgating parties before Stanford's big game (being on such a smart campus, we really should have been smarter to try to remember where left our bikes!). We went to the farmer's market to buy local produce, eat expensive chocolate in a hidden away garage and then go for a decadent hot chocolate dessert at a divine chocolate shop. We even headed to Santa Cruz for a hike and lunch on the boardwalk.
Although we learned that Ayden was a bit " suspicious" about "Biff" at first, we appeared to have been able to charm him by reading him bedtime stories "in stereo", giving him "sandwich hugs" and apparently sounding like pigs when we talked.
Living in this part of California would offer a wonderful way of life with lots of sunshine, tons of opportunities to bike (Beth would need to work on this!) and be active, eat healthy food and dine at nice restauarants (and burrito shops!) and have great friends nearby to play tennis. What a fabulous way to live. I guess it is true what they say - people at Stanford are really smart!
