A Beautiful Day in Bloomington

Yesterday we headed south to pick up our

guy in Bloomington.

It was a cold day but still beautiful

with the sun and blue skies.

We took a quick walk around campus.

This is the Well House, one of the oldest structures

on campus.  Legend has it that a couple will be together

forever if they kiss at the 12 strokes of midnight on

Valentine's Day.

This is a great old building but with 

something new this time.

Here is the new statue of the famous Hoosier,

Ernie Pyle, a one time student at Indiana University.

It has quickly become an infamous statue

due to the misspelling of the word "Corespondent".

Then we headed back indoors to have

a  lovely lunch at the Tudor Room.  I 

always feel like I am at Hogwart's when

I eat here.

Road Trip: Indiana University ~ Bloomington

On the road again...

First of all, let me apologize for the

poor picture quality, in typical Murphy's

Law fashion, my battery died in my camera

as soon as I got there, my back-up camera

was at home, so I had to use my ipod.  Sorry...

Today I went to visit Indiana University

with Brennan.  IU is settled in the softly

rolling hills of southern Indiana, it is a

beautiful area.

When I think of what a great university

should look like ~ this is it.  There are

beautiful old limestone and brick buildings

with brick walkways through a wooded

campus under that gorgeous American

mid-western blue sky.  I love how much

of the campus is closed to vehicles.

The architecture is lovely.

We started with lunch at the Tudor Room.

It was like having lunch in the Great

Hall at Hogwart's.

Brennan then went off to his

research scholarship interview.

I took advantage of the fantastic

weather and walked around campus.

We still don't know where Brennan

will choose to go to school but I

wouldn't mind visiting this campus again.

Of course, that would mean we

would be a house divided ~ yikes!
