West point

Yesterday was my birthday...yeah but I'm not telling you what anniversary of my 39th birthday I celebrated...so Mr. RL, the kids and myself took a day trip up to the Hudson Valley in the great state of New York. And who could make the trip to this part of New York without stopping by for a tour of the U.S. Military Academy? The bus tours run every hour on the hour which allowed us to time our arrival perfectly. We made it to the academy visitor center about 1 pm and took the 45 minute tour…

We took a photo tour of the U.S. Military Academy to see what day was like in the life of a West Point cadet.

Probably the most well-known of all commissioning programs, West Point is open to civilians and to current (enlisted) members of the military.
