Walker and I, along with our Plano friends Jessica and Brayden, took a long weekend and visited Notre Dame and Purdue!
sunset over Miami(-ish)
Initial thoughts - look at the fall colors! I haven't seen fall colors in a very long time!
(minus the bus)
First up! Notre Dame! Preschool best friends, walking side by side on a college campus. Who would have thought!
AND - we lucked out. Peter, the College Game Day dog, was on campus! It was so fun! I am obsessed with him.
we made eye contact

the boys in front of Kirk Herbstreit and the College Game Day crew
Touchdown Jesus!
the boys as very small humans
What an incredible lego display!
the Basilica of the Sacred Heart at Notre Dame
the Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes at Notre Dame
Lainey's TCU roommate, Whitney, has a brother named Walker who is a Notre Dame alum! He took the time to show us around campus! Best tour guide ever!
little lunch break
We ran into Joe! A friend from Parkland. So fun! In addition to him, we saw a few other fellow Parkland/South Florida friends!
Next up...football game! University of Miami vs. Notre Dame. It was so memorable! We had the best time.
Jon Bon Jovi was in attendance.
Brendan Hunt (from Ted Lasso) was also in attendance!
And then there was this guy, a priest who was a DJ. So fun!
This kid in front of me - the one with his shirt off - was such an awesome fan. He was fun to watch because he was ALL IN the entire time. I love seeing passionate fans!
It's hard to decipher what is happening in this photo, but there are several bodies being "pushed up" into the air by fellow fans. The "Notre Dame push-ups!" So cool.
The field getting "stormed."
Walker on the field!
final score
back on campus for a minute the following day
I loved this path of trees.
Such a beautiful campus!
And onto Purdue!
at the Engineering Fountain on Purdue's campus
I took pictures of the labs and resources that Purdue has for Engineering students. Incredible!
A "ScanBox" that can literally "build" anything from a model.
the Engineering "toy" wall at Purdue
a car that a Purdue club built
another fall tree
Neil Armstrong is a Purdue alum, along with Amelia Earhart.
Such a great weekend! We loved visiting the schools with our dear friends!
