Pomona College

Me and Nel wanted to get away for awhile, so we took a drive and visited Pomona College.  Pomona's campus is in the heart of the Claremont colleges, and Nel thinks it has the prettiest grounds of them all.  In some of the scenes of Gilmore Girls where Rory attends Yale College, many of the scenes were really filmed at Pomona College.  I thought about being in the same place as Rory, as some episodes show her walking the halls of the campus that I visited on Sunday.

 

We first went through the Starbuck's drive through and got a treat for each of us.
 

 

There are beautiful old trees that provide shade for the students, and there was a squirrel right above us as we sat at the top of the stairs and enjoyed our coffee.
 

 

Time for Mia to stretch her legs and run.  There was a big grass area for her to run around at, and since she's two, she never stops.
 

 

She couldn't get enough of the water fountain.  The inside of the fountain is designed with blue tiles, and it was so pretty.
 

 

 

There was an area with brown flowers growing, and they were beautiful and reminded me that Fall is on its way.  Some of the leaves were already changing color.

 

This is a hill that Nel ran down several times,

making Mia laugh.

 

There was an outdoor area with a long wooden table and chairs where the teachers and students  can have group discussions. 

 

The sun was coming right through this tree looking lovely.

 

It was a fun day, and Nel wants to eventually show me all the colleges that make up Claremont College when we go on our drives to one of her favorite towns.  I will always remember these special outings.
