Chicago: Part 1

South Bend/Norte Dame

This is where our Trip began! We met up with our friends Drew, Jenny and their son Kaden, and also Brookes and Melinda in South Bend, Indiana
(Just as a side note, Abe, Drew and Brooks have been best friends since the second grade!)

Abe lighting a candle at the Grotto.
The Grotto is a replica of the famed French shrine where the Blessed Virgin appeared to Saint Bernadette. Thousands visit the Notre Dame shrine each year to pray and light candles.
Abe, Drew and Brooks still thinking they are 14 years- old!
Just out side of Drew and Jenny's apartment in South Bend, Indiana... Beautiful!
Drew is getting his MBA at Norte Dame and we got a tour of campus, which included the 128 year-old main building with the gilded golden dome, the Basilica of the Sacred Heart Cathedral, and touch-down Jesus!

ahhhhh...fall, how i missed you!

How pretty the colors. I can't belive that they found shirts that fit them, They are such dorks. How nice that you guys could make it there to visit them.
