One afternoon we decided to take a nice relaxing walk on the Academy with Nana. It was a beautiful, crisp day and the leaves on the trees were just about to turn. We visited the newly renovated USNA Museum and just before we were getting into the car, Paul says "Do you guys mind if I go and check that building really quick while you are loading the kids in the car?" We of course asked why he wanted to do that and he said he thinks he might have received an award that is posted in the building. Anne and I were shocked that he was so nonchalant about it and told him we were coming with him to look for the award. Just like he thought, we found the award called 'The Admiral Dewey Award'. It is for the midshipman who excels at weapons training and only one midshipman per year is awarded this honor. Anne and I were really proud of Paul and it was a great way to end our nice walk downtown Annapolis.

Goin' for a stroll...
This was neat. Landon was really intrigued by the models of ships, planes and submarines. We showed him which one his Daddy went out on for several months. He was really fascinated.

Future midshipman?
Downtown Annapolis is just so beautiful.
Liked this.
Here is where Paul's award is.
We are so proud of you Paul!
The Naval Academy Chapel...where Paul and I were married. Isn't it beautiful?
Love our family!
As we were heading to the car, Landon said, "Daddy got an award?". He was proud of his Daddy too!
