On to Normandy!

On the road again!  From Paris we made our way to Normandy and ended up in Sainte Mere Eglise around lunchtime.  After eating a wonderful lunch (the kids had pizza... go figure), we ventured into the local museum.

Paying for a tour of Normandy is very expensive, so Greg bought an audio tour and we set off on a driving adventure through French country roads.  

 

The first major stop was Utah Beach...

And of course, ice cream!

 

As we continued on, we happened upon a cemetery in the middle of nowhere, yet it was beautifully maintained. 

Having been on the road all day, it was time to find the campground where we would be staying.  What an amazing campground it was!  There were some lots with tent or RV campers, but most of it was full of wonderful little trailers.  Ours was a 2 bedroom situation with a great kitchen with an eating area, complete with a front porch and picnic table.  The campground had both an indoor and outdoor pool (which was nice because it was too cold to swim outside), giant bouncy houses, large playground, an activity center with a restaurant, and even a laundry room (Woot!!).

After grilling out some dinner and getting settled in for the night, Juliette woke up screaming that she was cold and ended up getting sick.  Her rash had been clearing up and this was out of the blue.  It certainly left me unsettled and I just prayed that we wouldn't have to find a hospital!  She finally fell back to sleep and it seemed everything was going to be o.k.!
