Normandy

For Memorial Day we decided to drive over to France and see Normandy. A pretty awesome way to spend Memorial Day if you ask me.
On the way we stopped and spent a night in Versailles and saw the palace and all that. Pretty neat.


The next day we headed to Normandy. We took a guided tour and hit a few historical spots.
The first was the Point Du Hoc. This was a spot between Utah and Omaha beaches where the Army rangers scaled the cliffs to overtake a German outpost on D-Day.


The next stop was Omaha Beach. If you don't know the significance of this place you should do some reading...or watch Saving Private Ryan.

Our last stop was the American Cemetery
