Vince and I had to go up to West Point Academy on business for about 4 days. We were taking over a contract at the hospital on base there. I had never been to this part of New York before, and I must say it was GORGEOUS! West Point is amazing!!!! It is located right on the Hudson River, and the architecture is like being around the castles in Germany! They do tours there so if you ever have a chance, take a tour there!! It is breathtaking! So, needless to say, we enjoyed our time working there!! Took a few pics too. On Friday there, we were walking around the campus and saw a HUGE procession of people marching around on campus. Turns out it was the football team getting ready to board their buses and leave campus for the night. Tradition is that the team, and all high ranking officials leave campus the day before the game....only to return for the game itself. So, we saw the team board and leave....then saw the General get in his helicopter (right in front of us) and leave as well.....soooooo cool!!!! :)
For lunch we went to go eat at the hotel that is right next to the entrance. We met Coach K (Duke's basketball coach) there. He was getting inducted into the West Point Hall of Fame during halftime the next day. Bobby Knight was the one inducting him. Very nice guy...Coach K. Anyways, it was cool to see him in person...Vince was mad I didn't get a picture of him with with him! Oh well!! It was a trip well worth it, and time well spent there. Look forward to having to go back again!! :)
