After lunch on our own we will head to the beautiful Oakwood Resort, where we will spend the night.

After lunch on our own in downtown South Bend, we will take a guided tour of the Basicillica of Sacred Heart – the campus church of Notre Dame and an icon in the community. Neogothic in style the Basilica is home to the largest collection of 19th century French stained glass in the world as well as the oldest carillon in North America. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. Our day ends with a favorite family owned Italian restaurant – Caruso’s. Dan & Lisa are the second generation creating amazing Italian cuisine with hand crafted sauces and recipes handed down from Dan’s grandmother.
