Thank you so much! I am printing this and packing it. Any suggestions for dining the rest of the weekend on Kent's Island? I will be visiting the "roots" of my ancestor, William Claiborne. The next time you are in Memphis, please give us a shout out and we will weigh in on all our great sights and sites. We are the friendliest folks anywhere and love to share our hometown. I look forward to being with you all and having a great game, and celebrating the amazing Navy traditions.

Sorry I really don't know Kent Island very well. My son went to the academy and we had season tickets for those for years for football so I know Annapolis and that inner working but rarely had time to venture elsewhere.

GREAT post, hoagiethrower. Thanks for the tips!

My daughter just moved to Dover. We went to rehoboth. Really nice. Might need to come up with a reason to visit again. GTG

If you go, visit the Academy. It’s beautiful campus (Yard), historical and patriotic. The dorm, which holds the entire student body, is full of historic info. There is a memorial to every Midshipman who lost his/her life defending the country. Moving. In the basement is a memorial to Dave Jones.

Dave Jones of the Monkies or John Paul Jones?

2 years ago while I was there for the game, touring the dorm, I saw a naval officer standing at one of the displays. Quickly and quietly he knelt down and prayed and then left. You just knew he was remembering an old classmate. Very touching

I did use a public toilet, does that count?

Davy Jones although dead is not buried at the Naval Academy. Although I did hear that John Phillips of the mama and Papa's was a plebe who quit after several weeks of plebe Summer but he also although dead is not buried at the Naval Academy. John Paul Jones does have a crypt underneath the chapel at the Naval Academy.

One final note is that once the Brigade Marches On to the field and is in formation they will turn towards the awake crowd and tip their covers3 and welcome the away crowd

My wife said there were quite a few folks on her flight this morning that were on their way to the game. Very cool those that can make the trip are going.
