Europe 2015

Tim won an incentive trip through work.  This year, we were able to travel to Europe and take a northern Europe cruise.

We flew to London and spent a day and a half touring the city.

Riding the Hop on - Hop Off bus in London.

South Hampton, England - Stonehenge.  I loved the English countryside!  We got on the cruise boat here.

 London Bridge

"Little Venice" of Northern Europe - Bruge, Belgium.

Original Christus statue in Denmark.

Denmark temple

Viking museum in Oslo, Norway

Harbor cruise ride in Oslo.  This boat ride was my very favorite part of the trip.  I loved see the fjords and the colorful homes!  It was very cold and rainy.

Back to London and heading to Westminister Abby.

You're not suppose to take pictures in the Westminister Abby, but I tried to sneak a few.  You can see the lady in the red jacket racing toward me to tell me NO MORE PICTURES!

 Darcy and I enjoyed English donuts!  We finished the cruise and spent an extra day in London.

We went to the Hyde Park Ward in London.  The church is true everywhere!

Buckingham Palace.  The queen was in town, so we couldn't go inside.

We took the chunnel to Paris.

Ms Mona in the Louvre.

Eiffel Tower in Paris.

Best coke during the whole trip!

We worked the museum circuit and it literally wore me out!

We headed out to Normandy, France and had an excellent D-Day tour.  The 71st anniversary was happening the Saturday after we left.  There were a lot os US servicemen touring the sights.  There were also a lot of aircraft flying overhead.

 Omaha Beach - Point de Hoc at high tide.  The US soldiers would come in on man-made causeways to go around all the traps made by the Germans.  They used rope ladders to climb those vertical cliffs.

It was an amazing trip and gave me a greater appreciation for Heavenly Father's creations.  But it is always wonderful to come home!
