On Tuesday November 16th, Sian, Sofia and I visited the University of Redlands, which I hadn't been to in years (the last time was with Sian, as well) and Sofia had never visited before. Of course, no visit to the U of R is complete without a visit to Cuca's for a burrito. We picked up burritos and a cheese quesadilla for Sofia and drove to the university to eat on campus. We enjoyed our meal in a new outdoor classroom among a group of buildings which were just a grassy field when we were students. Then, we walked around campus (and endured the looks of students wondering who the 'old folks' were, I'm sure). It was great to enjoy the beautiful campus (significantly more beautiful since we were attending classes), and reminisce about our college days. I think Sofia mainly enjoyed walking around the outdoor classroom, running through the fountain and playing with a tennis ball that someone at the courts gave her. She loved walking on the maze, which was donated by a graduating class a few years after we left. I did buy her a toy bulldog stuffed animal with an 'R' sweater on, which she toted around everywhere too.
At Cuca's
Cuca's burritos and quesadilla - yum!
Just before she ran through the fountain
The beautiful view from the Admin building to the Chapel
Walking along Hunsaker Center
At the tennis courts - where Sian and I spent so much of our time
Walking along the maze - which was donated after we graduated.
Sofia LOVED it - she stayed within the lines and walked it a few times.
Rossmont Drive - We drove up this instead of running it (something we had to do during tennis to 'get into shape' which we dreaded)
It doesn't look like much, but that hill is nearly a 10% grade and was a tough run.
