The summer wouldn't be complete without a quick visit to Ann Arbor, the home of my alma mater! With some of the restrictions lifted on campus for vaccinated visitors, it was a treat to check out the museum, UMMA. Back when we first visited (forever ago...) it was fairly new without a lot of exhibits. We were excited to see new artifacts, and I was a big fan of how they used them to tell a story.
It's also lovely to take a stroll down streets that are so familiar. I remember hustling across campus to get to class on time, sneaking over to the Union to grab a cookie at lunch, and hunkering down at a computer at the Fish Bowl (probably called something else now!). Of course, things look very different, but they still feel the same. It was definitely worth the trip just for nostalgia alone!
At the end of a full day of walking, we were pretty tired. We stopped at Dominick's, a yummy Italian restaurant with a porch near the law quad. There's something to be said for a big plate of homemade pasta, specifically if that meal includes a gorgeous view of historic buildings. We also stopped at a shop that exclusively sells bon bons, which was an absolutely necessary experience. By the time we finished our visit we were stuffed with food, tired, and ready for a nap. Really I'm not seeing too much of a difference between college and now... :)
