Alright-- the moving and unpacking are done! So... back to this dusty ol' blog. :) For Miss Jackie.
The next Normandy Stop was at Saint Mère-Église; one of the first landing sites by allied forces and a city most noted for a parachuter who landed and got stuckt on the church steeple. He played dead for hours until he was eventually discovered by a German soldier, but was later set free after the city was liberated by landing Allied troops.
A friendly greeter to a local restaurant. ;)
Outside one of the museums.
As Nathaniel, Abby, and I walked by this we each commented on how this mannequin's eyelashes looked like Cameron's. :)
My precious boy by a tank.
I thought that the airplanes were fascinating (my grandfather was a pilot during WWII). There were 3 or 4 different intact planes to admire.
A mannequin parachuter still stuck up on the church steeple.
A photo of the original church steeple lander.
Inside the church.
I love statues of Mary. I think they're so beautiful.
