Last year, it was Air Force. This year, it will be Navy. I will pop by JHU and Penn as well if my schedule allow. Part of my scenic drive through the Maryland countryside will include the Chesapeake Bay Bridge.
But the best thing of all - my trip is fully sponsored. Whooohoooo!
I spent the morning at The Academy, and was pleasantly surprised that the driving time (one way) was only 75 minutes. Since it is both an undergraduate college and a US military facility, many areas of the campus are off limits to visitors. It also offers a spectacular view of the Rockies, and has two landmarks - a hulking B-52 monument at its entrance (this aircraft participated in the Vietnam War) and the toblerone-like Cadet Chapel.
