Not so great Football Game:(

Jeff & I went to the Utah vs. Notre Dame Football Last week, and while the football game pretty much sucked (Utah didn't even show up, no touchdowns, and they got smeared 28 to 3 PLUS it rained most of the game which would have been fine if they would have tried even a little), BUT we did get to go to the Notre Dame Campus,
which was beautiful, and the fans and people there were SO nice.


We wanted to see the Famous Touch Down Jesus mosaic, but didn't want to be disrespectful , so Jeff asked a guide where the Jesus mosaic was. The guy replied with a little laugh, "Oh, You Mean Touch Down Jesus, this is where to go!"


This is why they call it
"TOUCH DOWN JESUS"


It is actually a Mosaic Mural of Jesus calling out "Come unto Me"
The wounds were still fresh from the horrible beating the night before, but we pulled ourselves together and had an awesome day.

We went to the Field Museum, where they have some very exciting exhibits!!!

We saw the mummy's (the X-Ray in the bottom left corner shows that the sarcophagus used was probably made for a woman, but has a mummy of a Man inside. The arms are missing, and the legs were broken to squeeze the mummy into the space that was too small )The Field Museum holds the most completed skeleton of a T-Rex ever found. "Sue" (named after the archaeologist who discovered it, not because "she" is a girl) is 90 Percent complete of actual bones.




Chicago is a pretty amazing city, and we got to appreciate it from a different perspective from the top of the Hancock Observatory.





Jeff even got to get out on the 94th floor and wash some windows so they were sparkling clean!!! YIKES!!!





Last, but certainly not least, no trip to Chicago would be complete without some Chicago style pizza from Giordano's. DELICIOUS!!! (and I do have to mention that I ate Jeff under the table, hands down!!!) SO SO GOOD!!!

Just Look how thick that sucker is!!! And yes the sauce in on the top of all the "toppings"

SO MUCH FUN!!!!

Looks like you guys had a great get a way. Too bad the Utes lost. Hopefully the pizza made up for it at least a little!
