Racinbob 11,045 #1 Posted November 27, 2019 Our granddaughter from Florida recently signed at Lake Sumter State College with a full ride for her softball skills. Our daughter, son-in-law and her came up to visit and we decided to take advantage of a picture perfect late fall day and walk around one of our favorite places. This should tell you where. I took a ton of pictures but unfortunately I could not get many of them to download from my phone. There are many statues throughout the beautiful campus. We walked into Purcell Pavilion and the men's teal was practicing. I hope they worked hard on their 3-point shooting. A trip to the campus would be well worth it just to see the Basilica of the Sacred Heart. Pictures alone just can't do it justice. Of course I had to include this iconic structure. Even with the leaves nearly gone from the trees this is a beautiful place to visit, Notre Dame fans or not. Spending the best part of the day there with our family is truly a special memory. 6 4 1 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZXT 2,401 #7 Posted November 28, 2019 Looks like a fun day! So is she going to the college in Florida or going to Notre Dame? Either way, a full ride scholarship is an amazing thing to receive. Too bad you're not closer, I'd have to ask if she was single! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tom2p 2,394 #8 Posted November 28, 2019 I've been there and the campus truly is a special place a jem also went to a football game on one visit - very close to the action ( sideline area is relatively small ; no track around the field) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She's the one that suggested that we go there. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
