Returning to the Promise Land


Well I made it back to CO.  Luckily I didn’t have to make the journey alone, thanks to my awesome travel buddy and fellow classmate Nikki. We drove straight from OK to CO without passing through any other states, not a bad drive when two people share it!
I can’t figure it out, but OK has blue skies, puffy clouds and open plains; and CO has blue skies, puffy clouds and open plains… yet CO is so much prettier!


And Check out the Sunsets!

We made our way back to our old stomping grounds as well. 
Good ol’ USAFA! And I was even blessed to see three of my favorite people that still go to USAFA this evening.  It was weird being back there, almost like being a glorified Firstie, but better because I could leave! When we checked into the Rampart Lodge (yes, I’m a tool, I stayed on base at the hotel) we found out that we had the option to upgrade our room, so of course we took it! And guess where we ended up…. You guessed it… the General’s Suite! Can you say AMAZING!? The first time we come back to USAFA as Grads they offer us the General’s Suite, can you tell it totally made our night? Check it out!

Yes that is a mini bar of hard alcohol at the bottom. Tomorrow we check into Doss’s IFS (Initial Flight Screening) down in Pueblo. Should be a good time flying and seeing old friends, but also a lot of hard work and studying!
