Day 3: Normandy
... a piece of shrapnel. SO amazing! We also were able to go up to the hedgerows, an old tank, and even crawled into a pillbox. Seriously, even as I read this back to myself, the words don't even begin to touch on how hard it tugged on our hearts. It was like grandpa was there. Tom was walking and said aloud, "Okay, where to next, grandpa?" and we immediately smelled a horrific whiff of horse ****. I made no immediate ...
The D Day beaches of Normandy!

The Beaches of Normandy Weekend: Part 1
... there was an old fashioned radio playing news stories, reports from the fronts, and speeches by world leaders during the war. There were old military uniforms on display, letters that were addressed to families back home from soldiers on the fronts, and antique military vehicles. It was really helpful that all of the captions next to the displays were in both English and French. I think what made me like the museum the most was that, as you walk through it, it was ...
