Day 378: Aim High

Today we drove South to Colorado Springs.  On the North side of town, we visited the US Air Force Academy.  Trish stayed with the RV as she wasn’t interested, so I took the kids in using the truck.  Our first stop was the visitor center:

We watched the excellent video “A year in the Blue” and viewed the exhibits.  We then walked over to the chapel building:

As we were getting ready to leave, a bugle sounded and the national anthem played.  All the cadets stopped what they were doing and waited for the anthem to end:
