| When my parents came to visit, we started our road trip driving from Paris to Mont St. Michel. This is Mom and me before going in. |
Doug and Mom. |

| The view as we were leaving. |
Then we went to Bayeux where we stayed for two days. Such a cute town! |
 |
 |
| The cathedral there is really pretty. |
And Bayeux is close to the D-Day beaches and a lot of WWII leftover stuff. This is a church that suffered damage during the war and has since been restored. You can see in the blown-up photo in front of the church how it looked during the war. |

 |
| We went to the American Cemetery and I finally caught my Moby Dick! Every other time I've been there (and how many times does one go to Normandy in one's life, really?) it's been closed. But I finally got to go. It's hard to say a cemetery is "nice" or anything, but it was good to see it and read about all the WWII stuff in the visitors center. |
Another view in the cemetery. |
 |
 |
| Then as we were driving along, Doug noticed a sign for "Batteries des Longues" and wanted to check it out. Turns out it was a bunch of abandoned bunkers. |
So Mom and I helped defend the beach. (Yes, I do know we're dorks) |
