Normandy



We finished up our trip to France in Normandy. It was really beautiful. Our hosts were the best and our cottage was like a dream after all the small studios we'd been staying in! We stayed near Utah beach, where we saw some of the war museums and played in the sand. We saw the famous paratrooper on the church and ate some fantastic crepes. Then went to see the Bayeux Tapestry- which helped William the Conquer tell his version of history- a neat PR trick! We also visited the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial. Edward was very rambunctious, so we didn't stay very long- just 10 minutes. Just long enough for our rental car to get hit while parked in the parking lot! Thank goodness for the extra insurance. A relaxing end to a great vacation.
