After doing a little shopping we decided we better head back to the motel and get ready for the evening...we were about a 40 minute drive from West Point. Got ready and then Don and Dana picked us up and we headed back. There was a reception beforehand which was packed with people. Then on to dinner and our assigned table. I have to tell you the food was awesome! We had a great time and by the time we got out of there and caught the shuttle and got back to the motel it was close to midnight. Knew we had a early morning as parking again, was going to be tough. So about 0600 or a little later, Don was there and we followed him to West Point.
