Oui and whee

For their last couple of days in Europe, my Grandparents and I went to France to enjoy a couple of days in Paris and a day at the D-Day beaches in Normandy. They left this morning to return to the USA. Below is probably my favorite photo from G&G's visit. They're enjoying a delicious chocolate crepe with Notre Dame Cathedral in the background.

Right when we got to Paris Tuesday we stood in the long, hot line and took the lift to the top of the Eiffel Tower. It was great fun, but Grandma wasn't too thrilled about the 1000-foot rise in an elevator of mostly windows. Once we got to the top she did great.

Wednesday we rented a car and drove to the D-Day beaches in Normandy. In the top photo Grandma and Grandpa are in front of the memorial at Omaha Beach. Below, I'm riding a large anti-aircraft weapon at Pointe du Hoc. We also visited Utah Beach.

Thursday we took the open-top bus tour of Paris so they could see the rest of the big sites in Paris before we boarded the train back to the UK. We saw the Arc de Triomphe and Champs Elysees, and we spent some time in the Louvre and visiting Notre Dame Cathedral. It was a great trip!
