Air Force Academy Visitor's Center and Chapels...old Colorado City...Dat's Italian Restaurant

We and the Creans set out to explore the Air Force Academy.


Pete spied deer along the way!! so we took advantage of a photo opportunity.





an excellent view of the chapels along the way

 We stopped at the visitor's center and watched a movie of a day in a cadet's life and then looked around and of course, the gift shop was a stop for a pin for Bruce's road trip hat and a few postcards. We learned there that the Protestant Chapel was to be closed at 1pm for a wedding, so we scurried over to make sure that we got a good visit of the chapels.
