<p>Took a very interesting tour of the Jasper Ridge Biological Center (a tour organized for parents) and hiked Russian Ridge with D (our favorite activity when in the area). More interesting Q&A than expected with Provost John Etchemendy, especially on the topic of the free on-line courses Stanford offered last year as a pilot project. But as others said, it was mostly about spending time with our kid, which you can do any weekend.</p>
