Sauntering around South Bend

The requisite University of Notre Dame picture: the Golden Dome tops the
campus' Main Building, where most administration functions are housed.

When the average person hears the term "South Bend", they will most likely think of a certain Catholic university with a considerable sports tradition. For us, our most recent visit to the area (and my first ever) was part of a recent little weekend trip focused mainly on family activities. However, it did give both of us a chance to sample some of the offerings of a city that looks a lot more small-town than its population of just over 100,000 will let on.
