re: D-Day (My trip to Normandy)

Thanks for posting. Normandy is an amazing place.
We took our son to Normandy last summer for the 75th D-day celebration. We where at the Omaha cemetery for the Trump and Macron speeches. We also went to Point du Hoc and Arromanches. The British landed here, and parts of the artificial harbor are still visible out in the Channel. It was a very memorable experience.
I plan on going back in a year or two with just my wife. We will do a couple of weeks in France with two to three days in Normandy. Being in Normandy during the big celebrations (done every 5 years) is awesome, but it is very crowded. I look forward to being able to do things at a slower pace without being shoulder to shoulder with people.

What was great about the timing of our trip was all the sites (museums, restaurants, etc) were still dressed up for the 75th anniversary but without the massive crowds. When we first started talking about going we thought about June. But knowing the crowds would be insane (especially once we found out POTUS would be there), we opted for September.
We were actually staying in Nijmegen on the 75th anniversary of Market-Garden during our Holland portion of the trip.
