On the Sunday that would have been the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, our family made a pilgrimage to the Basilica. We said 2 rosaries on the drive in, attended Mass, and completed most of 2 rosaries on the way home. Although we like to go as a family once or twice a year, this visit was particularly motivated by reading about Our Lady of America, on Leticia's blog, Cause of our Joy.
Lucy loved seeing all the beautiful altars to Our Lady, and particularly enjoyed the echoing acoustics of the huge church. She throughly enjoyed the snack in the cafeteria after Mass, and pretty much hopped, skipped and jumped her way through the entire pilgrimage, much to the amusement of many lookers on...
Here is a sedate shot on the way home that completely belies the reality of the morning!
