Notre Dame in June

We traveled to Notre Dame for Michael's 10-year reunion this summer. It was great to visit the beautiful ND campus again, hang out with some of our best friends, and catch up with friends we haven't seen recently.

My friend Trevor happened to be on campus working on a project with one of the engineering professors.

Michael and I renewed our vows at the Basilica.

We toured the impressive new engineering building.

We stayed in the dorms for the weekend. It would have been more fun if it were one of the dorms we had a closer affiliation with during our college years (specifically Knott)... or if we could have been in one of the brand new dorms (which are reserved for older alumni during reunion weekends). Overall, though, it was a wonderful weekend and a trip down memory lane.

Of course we stopped by the Grotto, too.
