Synopsis: I did quite a bit of traveling from 2008 to 2012, but I only have a few photos and sporadic memories. So, here are some pics from each trip and the random memories I have that serve as captions.
Trip Overview:
June 2009 - After a 12 hour bus ride and watching the entire series of Band of Brothers, we arrive in Normandy, France, to take part in the 65th anniversary of the D-Day invasion. President Obama, among others, is there to give remarks.
Final Thoughts: I did some heavy traveling in 2008 and 2009, but I was not so good at taking photos, therefore I have little memory of many of these places. I guess that means I need to go back. Who wants to go with me?!
