A trip to Chicago

Since we were given two tickets to the BYU vs. Notre Dame football game we just had to make a trip out to Chicago to cheer on our Cougars, and continue celebrating our 25th year of wedded bliss!!

We stayed at the beautiful Four Seasons Hotel, which is just steps away from the Magnificent Mile and      Michigan Avenue shopping district.  Talk about a room with a view….WOW!!!!

 


We rented a car and drove out to South Bend, Indiana.  It was a very cold and snowy day!!  We toured the beautiful campus. Now Russ can check that off his bucket list.  Ever since he was a little boy, he has wanted to see the "golden dome".
                   Do you see the snow flurries?  Did I mention that it was FREEZING COLD?!?!?!


                                   Notre Dame Stadium is quite old, but steeped in tradition!
                            I think I prefer the modern conveniences of BYU Cougar Stadium!



While we were in Chicago we also enjoyed walking around the city enjoying all the sights.  We had a wonderful dinner one night in a fabulous little neighborhood Italian restaurant. Wish we had quaint places like that in Bakersfield! Chicago is a great city to explore!!
