The painting inside the dome was absolutely beautiful.  Let&#8217;s face it, it was just a gorgeous campus.  One cool thing we learned was that on game days (back to the sports information), the band lines the railings at all of the levels and plays some song &#8211; I can&#8217;t remember what.  Then they march outside, get in formation, and play and march across campus to the stadium.  I would love to see that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bigmamasdaycamp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_3753-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/bigmamasdaycamp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_3753-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10657\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bigmamasdaycamp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_3753-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bigmamasdaycamp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_3753-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/bigmamasdaycamp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_3753-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/bigmamasdaycamp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_3753-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/bigmamasdaycamp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_3753-690x920.jpg 690w, https:\/\/bigmamasdaycamp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_3753-980x1307.jpg 980w, https:\/\/bigmamasdaycamp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_3753-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>From there we were off to visit the Grotto, which was highly recommended to us by several people, and it also was very moving and beautiful.
