We just returned from a trip to Notre Dame. It was the first trip back for me for many years. That’s a complicated story for another time. Suffice to say I now have a love/hate relationship with the University.
The reason we went back was for a wedding. My long-time roommate’s oldest got married on campus at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart. I’d never gone to a wedding there, so that was fantastic.
Likewise fantastic was seeing Melanie and Brian and their now adult children and other family. It was also great to see other former classmates.
Probably the best part was being back on campus with my husband. We walked around and saw all the construction on campus.
We flew there, after an almost two-hour delay and almost flew home. Our flight was delayed almost eight hours in the end. Well before that, we rented a car and drove home. We got home before the eventual flight.
I was also sick all weekend long, after at least two weeks of the cold crud.
So, while the wedding, reception and dancing (yes, Rob danced with me!) was wonderful, the travel, not so much.
We’re happy to be home.
