The Air Force Academy

On our way to Denver, we passed the exit to the Air Force Academy and I mentioned about stopping there on our way back to New Mexico.  So, we did!
As you can see the Academy is nestled along the beautiful mountains! 
One of the many sights driving back to the Academy 
Getting closer
Finally, we got to the Visitor Center
Pappy and his favorite boys!!
Brett and Karissa

Inside the building there were many, many interesting things including the plane hanging from the ceiling!
A model of the Chapel.  It's beautiful from the outside.  Unfortunately, we didn't have the time to go inside.  I wish we could have!
Caden wanted me to take these pictures
I love the mannequin in the red and black :o)
And he wanted me to take this picture.  Their sports team at the Academy are called The Eagles.  They do a lot of research and training with eagles there.
Back in the van
and leaving the Academy Base.
A very nice experience visiting here!
