For anyone who has the chance to make a trip to the Normandy Beaches- we say GO!Any time spent there is time well spent.
We loved this quick trip.
This next year marks the 70th anniversary of D-Day and the Battle of Normandy- there will be many celebrations and events happening surrounding this special anniversary.
I know each time from now until forever that we see Normandy in the news we will cherish our precious time spent walking on the beaches that our soldiers walked.
From Omaha Beach, we headed home. It was a whirlwind trip- something we are working to perfect.
On the map, it looked like we were making a simple circle.
I knew we were going close to Paris, but did not realize we would be going straight through Paris on a Friday night.
There was traffic and an accident {of course}, but we know it could definitely have been worse.
It added less than an hour to our drive time.
Even still, we don't recommend driving through downtown Paris any night of the week- especially if it is Friday.
You know you have been in Europe a little while when you wake your kids up to check out the Eiffel Tower {lit up beautifully since it was night} and they barely look out the window.
