Half with Charlie @ South Bend and half with Lynnette & Pete in Wheaton.
Charlie was a fantastic host, proudly showing off HIS Notre Dame, which was basking in glorious fall colors at their peak. Pizza @ Rocco's with two of his three roommates, David and Nick. Saturday mass in the Basilica's crypt, brunch in South dining hall and then the fabulous concert of the marching band after we had seen the walk of THE Team in suits. Rain during the concert did not deter the band or the fabulus drum session that followed. We left Charlie before the game. Notre Dame did not need our cheers to win over Boston College. Neither did Stanford because they had reunioning Erin and Peter VIII.
Then to 1501 Coolidge Avenue where Lynnette & Pete showed off their new home before taking us out for a wonderful spanish dinner @ Meson Sabrica, where Erin & Pepe had been before us. After a great dessert experience [think gelato]@ Labriola Bakery & Cafe in Oak Brook a good night's sleep on the number bed [mine was 35!]. Following breakfast @ #1501 we spent the rest of the morning @ Wheaton Bible Church. Returned via a tour of Pete's office for a fabulous feast of steak, sweet potatoes cooked on the new Webber.
Our flight home was after a two-hour delay.
And the Vikings gave away a game to the Steelers in the fourth quarter to become 6 - 1 while we were gone.
