I'm in! Congrats to the twins! Son #1 wanted to go to FSU but instead headed west and is now married, working and going to night school. I helped Son #2 with the Air Force Academy App. That was hard. The hardest part was he left after his freshman year for 2 years and then I had to reapply for him last year. Talk about stress! 2 years 2 months till graduation!

I am following along and watch racing with DH. He prefers F1 but we watch NASCAR also. I so enjoy watching the nice looking men... I mean the pretty cars! Love those accents! We went to this 1st night race at Daytona. It was the year they had to reschedule because of all the fires along I-4. It is an experience and we were able to see Darrell Waltrip and Dale Sr. racing.

Great TR! It looks like I will be dragging Dad and his CM discount to 'Ohana! My birthday is in a couple months! So he can take his only daughter to dinner!

I'm in!

I'm here and reading along!

Thanks. We just have the 2 boys - AJ is the oldest - and this is his first. CJ is at the Air Force Academy and he can't be married or have children while there so I have a few years to wait. It is nice to be "young" and travel to see them.

I am here reading along. We did not make it to the Fort for New Years. We are saving to go to Utah this summer, our first grandchild is expected at the end of June. Can't wait to hear more!

Thanks for sharing!

I want to add my "Good Job" on the report!

I am along for the ride also!

Great family photo's! I may have to try and get a NYE trip into the Fort!

I'm in!

Loved your TR. We also like "Song of the South". My oldest son, has a book with all the tales. He took it back to his house this past May. He loves it.

It was really nice meeting you. We were in line waiting and I saw you. We wish we had more time to chat, but we were with friends. Our friends are my bosses. This is the 4th year we have been and may be the last. She has breast cancer. As far as the Terra food, our friends are Vegan so we had to try their stuff. DH and I had the Colorado Chili. It tasted like spicy chili with crispy potato chips. It was good. I would not have guessed that the fake meat was protein.

I was waiting for my time to come in the TR.

DH and I rode the "Superman" swing. Needless to say, I will never fly free-fall again! Of course he is ready to sky dive!

I'm in.

The couple I work for are Vegan and they are looking forward to trying the Terra Booth. We usually take them every year.

I believe our first stay was February of 1972, the 200 loop.

Here are a couple photo's of inside the Chapel. There are 2 floors with different chapels for several different religions. Well we made our purchases from the gift shop and then received a call from CJ, he had the time of his class wrong. We told him we could not make the hike back down in time. We met him later at Arnold Hall. From there we headed back to Denver. Next up - Football Saturday

Well after lunch CJ had CQ Duty (sitting at the Squadron Desk) and then he had 1 class that afternoon. So DH and I headed over to Arnold Hall and then up to the Visitor's Center. During Parent's Weekend, the parent's clubs from different states have tables set up in Arnold Hall and are selling stuff. We bought a couple of squadron pins and a few other things. There is a theater, Subway, Godfather's Pizza and the ballroom in Arnold Hall. Inside Arnold Hall Someone from the wood shop had made this. Display Case The walk to the visitor's center is 1/3 mile uphill. I realize it is time to get b

Thanks. It was really hazy while we were there, so it was hard to see the burn area just south of the Academy. Everything was really brown, except for around the central buildings of the Academy. They have kept those watered and green looking. We spent most of our free time up in Denver and even up there things were brown and dusty.

More photos. The campus is set up around a Terrazzo. It is also a cadet only area. Parents have to be escorted by their cadet at all times. Fountain in the Terrazzo Looking towards the Chapel. The Chapel is a public area. Chapel

We left off by finding CJ. We learned from our last visit that everything is uphill at the Academy! So we head up to the main campus. It is lunch time. CJ's dorm Vandenberg Hall. The bottom level has a student bookstore, barber shop and a few other things. The freshman have to eat lunch in Mitchell Hall, so the rest of the squadrons have cookouts. We waited for the line to die down so CJ showed us around. The last year he was there he was in the other dorm, Sijan Hall. His room. T-shirt in the bookstore.
