Today the girls visited Normandy Beaches and the Pointe du Hoc
I thought some of you might enjoy the photos - I don't have the story yet. 
This one looks like something from the Guns of Navarone. Tomorrow is the Mont Saint-Michel. It seems they are having fun.

The Normandy beaches and especially the US cemetery there are one hell of an experience. I think I was either nine or ten the first time we went and my father was as emotional as I ever saw the man. Mom, too.
Mont St. Michel, OTOH, is just way-cool...even with all the touristy souvenir shops and crowds. But October should be a good experience as it's long past peak season. I'm still envious as all get out!
Buck,
My SIL, Catherine talked about the emotional side of the visit to Normandy Beaches - especially since her father was also military and from the Greatest Generation. It is a place I would like to visit, but then I cried while on the USS Sullivans, and then again when I saw the POW bracelets on the USS Little Rock. But Mont St. Michel should be great. Catherine mentioned that the weather was perfect.
