He is accompanying his dad on a business trip to Notre Dame, Indiana, for this whole week. Bunny made this same trip one year ago. Marcus booked first-class (!) plane tickets to Chicago for Monday, then he and James met up with grammae's sister Patty and her family for dinner. A quick dip in the hotel pool before driving to South Bend on Tuesday to stay with family friends Bob and Linda. I hear they already had one Polish feast, with more to come! A tour of the campus is a MUST, of course, and they did that yesterday. Best of all is the great daddy-son bonding that has occurred on this very special week. :o)
Here are some pics that were sent to me this week via Marcus' iPhone:

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday James! You are almost as old as Evan was when we were in Oregon!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a beautiful Basilica!!!! It kind of reminds me of the big one in Portland!! You (James) have a wonderful family and very blessed to go on such a trip like that (and i may only be saying this because I have never been past the east of the Oregon border)!!!
