Normandy Part 2

Normandy was an amazing experience! While there we visited two museums, one dedicated to the British war effort and one for D-Day at Utah Beach. We also visited Omaha Beach, Utah Beach, Point du Hoc, a German gun battery, and the American Cemetery at Omaha Beach. It was truly a humbling experience, so many lives were sacrificed there for our freedom!
 On the way to the war sites Maddie wanted to stop in a really cute small town.

The British floated over a port from England.




 These German guns could shoot over 8 miles out to sea.
 This one was destroyed by a hand grenade.




 The craters at Point Du Hoc are still there.


 The American Cemetery was an incredibly sad sight to see.  It took our breath away.
