What these men died for . . . .
Cathedral in Bayeux, France where we stayed every night
Point Du Hoc
What was left after all the bombings
View from Point Du Hoc which lies between Utah and Omaha Beaches
One of the bigger craters from the bombs. The boys loved running in and out of them.
Memorial at Piont Du Hoc
At the top of the cliffs. . . .
Mere Saint Eglese near Utah Beach. A paratrooper got caught on the church and ended up being one of the few survivors who landed in the town. The town keeps a dummy up there with a parachute in honor of the event
Joshua at Utah Beach
Frank at Utah Beach --low tide
Beautiful dune grass and sand at Utah Beach
Mont Saint Michele from a distance
And up close!
Inside Mont Saint Michele. Adam is holding a plastic turtle. At every stop he was holding some type of animal that he would carry around with him all day and take very good care of.

Adam and Caleb in one of the courtyards. Frank was already in the car with cranky Joshua at this time.

I was just thinking about you today. It is great to see pictures. You are so lucky to be able to go and see so many different places. I love the gardens at the beginning of the post. How much longer are you stationed there?
ReplyDeleteWhat pretty pictures! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool summer trip!!! So much fun... And here we are talking about all of our Reunion festivities(quite mundane compared to this stuff!)--I would love to go see all that awesome stuff in France--Monet's gardens were very beautiful.
