To West Point


Hi:

We decided to take a driving trip today to West Point. It is about 50 miles away. We didn't know it was as close is it was. It was a nice change of pace from riding the trains and subways. West Point has been in continuous use since 1786 if I remember correctly. Lots of tradition there. They give tours starting at the visitors center which is off the base. It is the only way you can get on the base, which is different than Annapolis. There you just had to show a picture ID and go through security. The campus is older looking than Annapolis but it is an older campus.
We did take a few pictures and will include one of the parade grounds which we think is the cafeteria in the near background and one of the 9 chapels in the upper background.
