Summer vacation is upon us! If you are looking for an inexpensive day trip, why not consider a visit to the Red Barn equestrian center at Stanford University? The center is open from 6am -9pm and permits visitors to self-tour the stables quietly. We wandered freely while our daughter read each horse's name above it's stall. (Thanks to our friend Julie for mentioning this wonderful free resource to us!)On a recent visit, our daughter was thrilled to be invited by one of the caretakers to feed a carrot to a horse which was being groomed. We topped off our visit with a stroll through the Rodin gardens and world-class Cantor Arts Center (free museum admission and free parking on the weekends). There is an excellent (though pricey) organic cafe on-site. You can also eat your picnic back-pack lunch on the grounds.
