VMI

This is really a great military institution.. We passed through and did a quick tour.. I remember a really nice museum . Stonewall Jackson is the king here. He was a proffessor here before serving in the Civil War. I even remember seeing his Horse in this museum.. In June nobody was there and we were able to tour the facility pretty much at our leisure. I remember watching a razor blade commercial filmed here shortly after we toured this great military instituton.

I am pretty sure that this is a dorm. The razor blade commercial was filmed here shortly after we toured.. In the summer we walked right through the courtyard and nobody said a thing to us..

This was a fantastic painting in back of the Pew in the Church. I really wish I had taken a better picture.. Simply depicts a bloody Civil War scene.. I am not sure of what battle.. But It was a painting you can get lost in..It's magnitude and detail are mesmerizing.
