The Golden Dome. The trumpeteers played the ND fight song inside before the game. It was so amazing. Everyone was talking about the chills they got.
On Sunday, I scheduled a tour of the shoreline of Chicago. Our flight was at 7:30 so I figured we could spend some time exploring Chicago.
Don't we look hot in these helmets?
This segway tour was SO much fun - a little embarrassing - but worth it! Chicago is amazing!
So I had this trip planned for over a month. Everyday I wanted to tell TJ - sometimes, I even had to leave the room so I would burst open! For those of you who don't know, TJ is a huge Notre Dame fan. And I mean huge! He had wanted to go out to South Bend, but I told him we couldn't since the tickets to the football game alone were $660 for us both (yeah, talk about completely over-priced, but luckily for TJ, I thought it was worth it). I still had to pay for airfare, hotel, car rental, food, the segway tour, and the $400 in ND gear we had to buy. I think this $2300 3-day trip has been the most expensive gift I've gotten TJ so far (and it's not even a holiday, birthday, or anniversary.) Man, I am an awesome wife!
This is my "hidden camera" attempt. I told TJ on Thursday and we flew out Friday morning. It was such a fun weekend. It made me feel to good to see TJ so excited and giddy like a little school girl. It was cute. We did everything you could possibly do while out there on campus. And to top it off... ND beat Michigan State 33-30! Boo-yah!
(It's a little long, so just watch the first 2 minutes.)
