Falling a little behind with my posts 

so here's a little look at this past weekend!

We spent Friday and Saturday in Normandy

(specifically Caen and Deauville)

where we visited the D-Day beaches,

the Normandy American Cemetery,

Le Memorial de Caen, 

and Château du Breuil.

Pont du Hoc

The big craters in the ground are 

where the bombs landed

Remnants of a manmade road that served as a 

way of transportation and to break the waves

a comrade in arms 

known but to God"

On June 6, 1944, on the beaches of Normandy,

over 10,000 young soldiers paid for our freedom.
