Parent's Weekend is so much fun! Encourage the whole family to come - there's plenty to see and do. We brought the siblings and grandparents - everyone had a great time. Some family members went to classes with our cadet while others toured the Academy and checked out the gift shops, etc. We all enjoyed the squadron party. It was a BBQ with cadet vs. family member games. Tons of fun! This is a weekend to remember and cherish! As others have pointed out, it's important to have a plan and don't rely on the cadet to plan the family's visit. Cadets have classes and other things to keep up with...Family members are on their own for large chunks of time and should find their own entertainment. Plenty to see and do, though. We were fortunate that our son had his phone that weekend but each squadron is different.
Lastly, plan to buy tickets to the football game ahead of time (online). Cadets have to sit with the student body so look at the stadium map and try to purchase tickets directly across from the cadets so you can watch their antics in the stands. It's fun!
