Day 7: U.S. Air Force Academy

Our next stop was the Air Force Academy. We drove by the place several times and liked seeing the Chapel and the gliders (sail planes) in the air. These sail planes are used to train the cadets how to fly solo.

We went in the far gate and were able to stop and see a few planes that were on display.

We arrived in time to see the noon formations. Unfortunately it was raining and we didn't watch very long...

At each corner of the field there was a different aircraft. Kevin and Austin were sure enthralled at this stop. It made it even more special that Papaw had served in the Air Force.

We took a quick look inside the chapel. The bottom floor is the catholic chapel.

The top floor is protestant. The stained glass window and huge pipe organ were stunning.

We ended the stop back at the visitor's center with a peek through the museum and a stop at the gift shop.


NOTE: Camden's stroller was soaked from the rain, so I took off her shorts so they weren't soaked the rest of the day.

NOTE 2: Another look at that face scrap from earlier in the morning. Poor, poor baby girl! But she took it all in stride.
