This was the Chicago weather as we left Sunday to begin our spring break mini-vacation. It was snowing before we left at about 6:30 a.m. and got heavier as we got closer to the lake and into Indiana. At least by time we got to Indianapolis the snow was over. And we even saw a sign of spring on the University of Kentucky campus - a daffodil in bloom on the grounds of the university president's house.
We took the University of Kentucky tour the day after the school's basketball team won one of its games in the NCAA tournament. I just had to take a picture of this bra laying on the ground. Perhaps the partying got a little wild?
Our hotel room in Lexington appropriately looked out over this horse track.
At Purdue we saw this to scale model of the university in the school's Memorial Hall. Pretty impressive.
L "won" a raffle at school to bring this stuffed dog along on spring break. Part of her "assignment" was to take a picture of the dog wherever we went. We took its picture at the Louisville Slugger Museum and in a store at Purdue surrounded by a bunch of other stuffed animals. I wanted to get a picture of it in a hotel room so in East Lansing, I tucked it into B's bed, snapped a picture and left it there. He was a little freaked out when he woke up next to the dog with big eyes.
Apparently the only way to keep the kids from bickering with each other is to tire them out so they all fall asleep.
Andy's notorious for making us take long walks, saying most everything is "three blocks" from wherever we are. If you look beyond the kids in this picture you can see the distance of the Michigan State Capitol from the Supreme Court Building, which we were in. It was cold outside and the walk ended up being a lot farther than it initially appeared. I think we were all frozen by time we got into the court building.
