Normandy - D-Day Beaches, Museums & Memorials - July 25th~Aug 2nd

Our holiday in Normandy was mainly to visit the D-Day story again, this time with our daughter. The last time we were there was 18 years ago, in the first year that we had Jessie the Jeep. Some things stayed the same, but most of the museums had made changes involving modern technology to tell the D-Day story.
