Happy Monday Darling!
Enjoying fall football games is one of autumn’s sweetest treats! Experiencing America’s most beloved sport in the iconic Michie Stadium at West Point is truly a memorable and patriotic event. Michie Stadium even ranked No. 3 on Sports Illustrated list of Top 20 Venues of the 20th Century.
Saturday morning we drove upstate with our NY besties and arrived at West Point just in time to watch the famed Cadet Parade on the Plain! Cadet’s in full-dress marching the field, followed by an incredible parachute demonstration! Next, we strolled through the tailgating lawn at Buffalo Solider Field and we visited the historical Thayer Hotel (gorgeous views of the Hudson River Valley) for brunch before the game.
Game time! Look up! A hovering helicopter, dropped a handful of the Black Knights (West Point Parachute Team) to parachute and land on the field with the official game ball! Wow!
Thankfully, we heard lots of cannon fire from Lusk Reservoir after every Army score! Sweet Sound of Victory! Yay-Black Knights defeated the Fordham Rams!
