A Morning at the Citadel

Last Saturday was Parent's weekend at the Citadel so we headed down with the Trey, Molly, Thomas, and Parker to check out some of the festivities.  We made it just in time for open barracks, so we let the children check out the quad.  We were in fourth battalion which is the one that James lived in when he was there.
