United States Military Academy at West Point

We left Reading, Pennsylvania early this morning and passed through New Jersey on our way to the United States Military Academy at West Point. We took a guided tour of the academy then visited the West Point Museum. Fun fact: West Point has a state-of-the-art bowling center with ten lanes.
