Woke up this morning at Beth's house in NY. Today we are going to check out West Point's campus, do some tailgating and watch the Army vs. Air Force football game. We sat in the kitchen to have some coffee and bagels for breakfast.

Next, Beth brought out all the goods for the tailgating. She was so prepared for this, it was amazing. There were two coolers, one for the drinks, one for the food. Then there were multiple bins with snack, utensils, plates, etc. Lastly was the Coleman grille. After loading up the car, we were off to West Point to start the day.

We found a good place to park, then we walked around campus. We checked out a few of the buildings, got to see Beth's office and classroom. Then we checked out some of the other touristy things on campus. Next it was back to the car to start the food and drinks. We had brats, chicken sausages, and some kick-ass cookies and brownies. We looked up in time to see paratroopers jumping out of a helicopter. We started walking over to the stadium after the game started, stopping in the gift shop for a few minutes. When we got to the stadium, we went to the opposite side called 'The Hill' and watched the game from outside. The final score, Air Force 42, Army 22.

Next we walked around a bit more, heading over to the Chapel and then back to the car. We went back to the house to settle in for the rest of the afternoon. We sat in the living room and talked a bit, then played a couple games of Banana Graham, kinda like scrabble. Beth made a frozen pizza while we played, and around 9pm, we all went to bed.
