Our All Academies Banquet was held at Little Rock's very beautiful and historic Capital Hotel (President Grant slept here in 1877, legend saying that Grant had been allowed to take his horse upstairs to his hotel room). The banquet food was first class and included a very unique dessert of vanilla and bacon ice cream. Every one at our table ate the ice cream with much skepticism but declared it delicious in the end.

Lastly, Me with My Awesome West Point Cadet:
It is very difficult to believe that this was our third All Academies Banquet. Although, our cadet would offer a slightly different perspective, his time at West Point is passing swiftly.
You are just beautiful! Look at you! Your husband and your son clean up pretty good too!
ReplyDeleteHow proud you must be of your son. I'm sad, though, that the female cadets don't wear their uniforms. You would think they would want to show off like the men.
Lovely post, Mom. :)
