    I completely understand the not wanting to say “enjoying” it bit but it is eye opening and a way to really appreciate the past by having the experience.
    With my son being in the military it’s overwhelming to explore military museums and parts of history that involve any military history from any branch domestic or international.
    It’s amazing to me that all those military branches came together in a unified force and overcame cultural, political, and personal differences.
    Very cool to see 😊. Thank you for taking us along. 💕

      We learnt so many things while we were travelling around.
      We got to see where the Brits, Canadians and the Americans landed but there were so many more sites along the coast that we could have gone to.
      I really like that people still go to these places to learn and pay respects xx

    That was all really Interesting. There is so much to see and learn. The memorial with all the names was sad, but it was cool how you explained it would look like the flag from above. The beaches looked so big, I could only imagine what they were like full of soldiers during the war. Xx

      The memorial is so nicely done.

    What a great day exploring. That bridge was cool. I have never seen one operate like that either. I love history and find it fascinating so this would’ve been a blast! That is a cool fact about the spikes. I couldn’t imagine parachuting in and one of those stabbing me in my bum! Ouch!! Great video and thank you for sharing your day with us.

      The bridge was so impressive. I am glad we caught a boat going under so we could see how it worked.
      I dont think you would have a bum left if you landed on a spike.
      We learnt a lot it was a great day xx

    The bridge is brilliant, what a smashing bit of engineering.
    We're very keen to visit this region in our new campervan. So much history to explore.
    Thanks for sharing N&Nx

      We were really excited to see the bridge in action its so clever.
      There is so much to see and learn around here we fit as much in as we can but there was still stuff we wanted to do. xx

    Hi guys. That's such a cool bridge. I've not seen one work like that before. Haha the picture of the seal was just wonderful. I remember going to a war museum in France when I was a kid, no idea where in France, but I just remember the whole time I was there having such an eerie feeling and desperately trying not to cry and I got that same feeling watching your footage at the memorial. So sad. Oh gosh the spikes!! Definitely need to visit Normandy one day.

      Normandy is so beautiful and there is so much to learn!
      The bridge was really cool. I am glad we were there to see it in action.
      The museum did such a good job at making it interesting without being disrespectful and when you see some of these things in person it really does make you think x

    This would be such an amazing place to visit one day. I’ve always wanted to visit Pearl Harbor in Hawaii as well.

      We got to see Juno Beach a little bit. It was interesting seeing all the different spots that the troops landed on.
      I liked that there are still lots of people visiting and paying respects xx
