West Point Homecoming activities

This is the stage that they have outdoor concerts on, the audience sits on the hilly grass. What a cool view of the Hudson River. This area is called Trophy Point
Notice the cannon used as part of the lighting system. This cannon was the first one shot at the Civil War
Here comes the "Black Knights" for their Homecoming Game, they wone 17-14
Beautiful stadium at West Point. We really enjoyed the game, we were watching the parade at the parade grounds and someone came up to us and asked us if we were going to the game and then they gave us some extra tickets they had. They were great seats in the shade as it was a very hot day at the field.

Notice the 4 points, these are the paratroopers that jumped out of a helicopter. It was awesome

We were up early and headed to West Point to meet the office senior couples for the Homecoming parade and game. We hooked up with the Elders whose area it is and they went with us to the parade grounds. There were about 2000 cadets marching at the parade grounds. All decked out in their white uniforms. After the parade a RM cadet met us and took us on a little tour of the place. After wards we met up with the Farnsworths and we went to the Homecoming game with them. West Point Black Knights played the Eastern Michigan University Eagles. West Point won 17-13. Very good game. Afterwards we went to dinner at UNO Chicago Grill. Yummy food.

P.S When wanting to go to West Point, make sure you have your drivers license with you. Everyone must have a picture ID. I learned the hard way as last week while here with the ZL at the street fair, we were unable to go on a tour because I did not have my ID with me.
