SRI and The Ghosts of Stanford Past


We went for a drive over to the Peninsula and Curt showed us where he works, and we also went back to our apartment courtyard at Stanford.  Thought it would be fun to show the kids, see what they remember etc.  I wasn't prepared for the emotions . . . probably still too close to our moving . . . I was fighting back tears.
                                         Here is SRI, Curt's office is on the bottom floor I believe just behind the gate in the right most picture.

 Driving towards our apartments on El Camino Stanford soccer fields to the right.
 Cecy's apartment
 Standing by our building looking out to Stanford Ave.  All those houses straight ahead did not exist before.  Now there are lots of faculty and coaching housing over there.
 SO. MUCH. TIME. SPENT at this playground
 Our gate was the one in the background with the blue towel on it.
 I used to tell Isaac to get off of this play house every five minutes.
 Heidi on "the" slide
 Wheelers apartment was just beyond the grass.
                                                     That's our door in the middle there . . .
 cannot count how many times I ran down this road

 We got to see the Lunts' some BFFs from our Stanford days.  She had just gotten back from running the St. George marathon the day before!!

I don't know if I can ever go back to Stanford without getting emotional! Student-family housing was so awesome and I have so many precious memories from EV. I am glad you got to go back.

Ummm... should we all move back? How about us women go back for another degree this time :)?! I miss it so much and those pictures bring back such fond memories and now you've done it Heather! I feel nostalgic and emotional too! I'll call you soon, miss you!
