Today I went with Nathan on his school field trip. We went to Notre Dame. I went last year with Sarah and really enjoyed the tour so decided to go again this year with Nathan. The lunch was a big pull in whether I went also! They have the most awesome lunch hall. It is the biggest buffet I have ever seen. There are several different tables, all with different ethnic food. There is Italian, Mexican and Chinese. They will stir fry up just about anything you can imagine. Also pizza table, grill table (hot dogs, hamburgers), a couple of different salad bars, soup bar, ice cream bar, dessert bar, breakfast bar, and then a home style bar with food like steak, pork chops, veggies, mashed potatoes...stuff your mom would cook at home. Plus every drink under the sun. All of this we had access to for our lunch! They gave us a whole hour to eat, so we were able to make many trips!!
The boys in my group saw a student eating and they just knew that he had to be a football player because of the size of his arms. They finally got the nerve to go ask him, and he was. So then they talked to him for a little bit and got his autograph. I'm sure they made his day! Not sure what his name was but his number is 64.
I'm sure that will be the highlight of the trip! That, and Nathan drank Vault for the first time! Ha! He thought it was a big deal, but it's basically the same thing as Mountain Dew.
Brandon, our guide for the day.

There were tulips everywhere on campus. Just beautiful!

Looking up inside the Golden Dome. There were five floors, and then the mural was above that! Pretty high up!
Standing on the steps of the Main Building look out over the campus.
The Basilica
These are the pictures I took inside the Basilica. Sorry, they are blurry. It was dark inside, so I used the night setting, and then the pictures blurred!

The Grotto
One of the two lakes on campus.
Little log cabin. Replica of the first building on campus. The original one burned.
I forget the name of this building but it was one of the dorms.

Neat field trip! Kira is going to EAA in Oshkosh today with her class. She crossed off the chaperone invite on the bottom so I figured they had enough parents coming along. Turns out, she just didn't want ME along!
