We really don't favor any one city over another! Everywhere we've been has great things to offer a military reunion group. But my purpose on here is to highlight some of the places you might not think about going, or some activities you might not have considered including in your itinerary! We recently had the privilege of having the 34th Bomb Sqd meeting in Colorado Springs, CO. Being an Air Force group, their trip to the Air Force Academy was one of the highlights, as well as attending the Academy Vs. Tennessee football game. There are many other great activities in Colorado Springs, but since this group's itinerary was a little different than normal, I wanted to highlight the things that they did. Below are pictures from the visit to the Academy on Friday, and then pictures from the football game on Saturday! It's a little "iffy" to schedule a reunion around a football game - at the time we have to book the hotel, the football schedule has not been released, so we have no way of knowing whether the team will be playing at home or traveling to another school. We got lucky this time and they played at home on the date we were there! Check out their photos:

| Now, there's not many military reunions where you get to see cheerleaders! |
