... over the beach; it was extremely moving. The memorial they have there is phenomenal. The next stop was Utah Beach, where grandpa landed two weeks after D-Day with the Signal Corps. Here, dad got to see for the first time where his father came ashore in WWII. It was incredible. We walked over the crest and saw the beach, walked down and touched the water.

Of course, I am a picture taking fiend regardless, but I wasn't about to tell Jane that. After that, Haley and I found out that we had a lot of other things in common, like the fact that we love to explore new places and have cool adventures, and, of course, to blog.
