Strawberry Picking

Last Friday was a bright sunny day. Perfect for picking strawberries. We got 12 quarts of the delicious red berries. We still have some at home for all sorts of desserts.

West Point, NY

Here are some photos I found of our trip to west point. We went in February with Sarah, Me, and Grandpa C. West Point is really amazing. It unfortunately it was a rainy day. We took a tour of the whole place. There was also a museum of old war weapons and stuff. The cathedral is huge and looks just like an old gothic cathedral. Everyone had tons of fun.

This is the entrance museum that tells you about West Point academy. Also a place to take corny pictures.

Largest pipe organ in at least the U.S. (maybe the world, I can't remember.) More of the pipes were in other places of the cathedral.

The Large Campus with a lot of high tech training facilities. This marker represents a tree that was given to the academy as a class gift.
