This morning we had a little later start going to the city of Bayeux which is about 20 minutes away from our hotel. A medival tapestry embroidered about 1000 years ago is being kept and preserved in a museum in the center of the town. The tapestry tells the legend of William the Conquerer who was a Norman taking the English crown. The tapestry and museum were fantastic! It was so unique and it is absolutely incredible that it has survived for so long with very little damage. Then we walked around the town a bit and came across this beautiful cathedral. It was massive and obviously had a lot of history to it. The sign was in French but we think that it said it was first built in the 7th century and then renovated in the 16th. Then we had a wonderful lunch at a small cafe. After this, we drove to a city called Caen and toured the WWII Museum for a couple of hours. Then we went back to Bayeux and had a fabulous dinner. Now we are packing up for tomorrow's trip to Ambroise. So first leg of the trip...success!!
I dropped Matt at camp a little while ago. When I commented that I had to check the France blog, he said -- oh, Morgan's had her first crepe! When I asked how he knew, he said "Facebook" like duh???!!
ReplyDeleteCole is going to waterski camp at Lake Lanier next week and is very excited. He is finishing cutting the grass across the street from NAMOC this afternoon. It was a little bigger job than he thought it was going to be....
It is super hot here in Atlanta so as soon as Don and Cole get home, we are going swimming at Nanny's.
We are loving the updates. Hope you have a splendid time.
I love the updates. Did Morgan and Kelly remember that Sunday was also Father's Day! We are proud that Woodward is over 100 years old and then you go to a place like France and they have restaurants that over 100 years old not to mention Catherdrals that are 1500 years old. Have fun
