Notre Dame trip

Since this week is spring break, we decided to take a little trip this weekend and visit Notre Dame. Brian and Katy go to grad school there and were on spring break as well so they were able to give us a tour around their school and go to lunch with us!
We took off following the directions from Rita (our GPS- that's what we named her). We figured it would be freeway the whole way but were pleasantly surprised to be on small highways through little towns most of the way there.

Being on a highway instead of a busy freeway allowed us to easily pull over and take a picture next to this sign. Mikel just humors me now and doesn't even protest when I make these strange requests! We were actually in a little small town when we saw this sign so I'm sure some of the local people just shake their head and laugh about the people from Idaho who pulled over in the rain to take a picture.This was a pretty lake with little houses around it in the middle of nowhere near the Michigan-Indiana line. We drove through some tiny little towns; the kind of towns in the middle of nowhere where scary movies are set! Luckily nothing scary happened while we were there!

It rained for all but about 3 hours while we were gone but luckily those 3 hours were when Brian and Katy were showing us around campus!

While we were gone we toured Notre Dame, went to the College Football Hall of Fame, saw a tiny little college and a lot of pretty places. We have tons of pictures so I'll post some more about our trip in the next few days!
