I've been to the Air Force Academy many times. I've been in classrooms, dorm rooms, the cadet dining facility for a meal, the field house, the stadium, the intramural fields, the terrazzo, the hospital...but I've never been to the visitor's center and I've never been to the chapel. I finally visited the chapel this week with my brother John, who is visiting from California. The chapel is iconic and one of the biggest tourist attractions in the state (along with the rest of the academy).
The visitor's center was pretty cool too. It had lots of info about cadet life. We also watched a little movie about the academy. I think we all walked out of their glad we didn't go to the academy. :)
We took the short walk over to the chapel. It was really something to see!!
Inside the upper level
The stained glass
The organ...I know it's a bad picture
I liked these little books of scripture for the cadets. Camouflage.
Anna got sad on the walk back to the car and we had to appease her with a Subway kids meal. Subway is a staple on many Air Force bases and after eating it so much in Okinawa (for lack of other healthy on base choices) I thought I would never want it again. I think enough time has passed now that I'm cool with Subway again. Especially if it can avert a possible tantrum. I'm glad I finally got to see the famous chapel. I think we'll go again when Scott is with us.
