West Point v.39

More of my girls! In DC at Mary's house.

West Point.  On a national level it is where leaders are formed and history was made.  On a personal level it means much more.  It is where Bob and I first saw each other and lifelong friendships were made.

We went there during "Branch Week", when the cadets are learning more about the roles they could play in the branch of the army that they choose to serve in after graduation.  The cool thing about that was we got to see some of the displays- Becca got to climb around on a helicopter and see an armored vehicle up close.

We also got to watch the parachute team practice on the plain.  Becca was pretty sure she wanted to do that some day...

No visit would be complete without playing on the cannons near Trophy Point and seeing a parade.  Our visit was not complete, since we are not early birds, and we skipped the parade.  On to the football game!

We were a little early for the game....

The Army Team played an exciting game, but came up short by one point.  Very fun to watch!

Bob met some '78 classmates after the game
