Just wanted to post some fun pictures from The Roadtrip we took this past weekend! We headed out to the coast to see the Absolutely Amazing Mont Saint Michel and we were lucky enough to be able to stop in the city of Arromanches to see the D-Day museum and walk along one of the Beaches in Normandy! To start off....driving in Paris, I am so glad it was Jake driving! He did a great job, it was a little scary at first, but that just made it more of an adventure!
THANK GOODNESS FOR GPS! It saved our road trip! That's forsure!
So, here are some pictures of Le Mont St. Michel:
The Abbey was built in the 11th Century. During the 17th Century was used as a prison.
The Monks returned to the Abby in 1874
They still hold church services here and we got to hear the big bells chiming, it was amazing!!Of course, these days there are a few hotels and tourist shops on the island as well.
Here we are awaiting the tide to come in! The days we were there were "High Tide"! It was so crazy to walk in and see the water far away and then walk out and have it be right up to the walkway! Jake made us get to higher ground, I kept promising him I wouldn't let him drown!
This is the view we had from our Hotel Room! It was actually a lot better than it looks from these pictures! It was the perfect trip!!
In these pictures: Sam Left, Sadie Right
Sorry! I am having trouble getting any of the pictures from Normandy to post! I promise those pics are to come! It looks like I have given you plenty to look at for today anyway!
