April 14:
Rob brought our new “baby” home on Sat. the 12th. He decided that he wasn’t going to name her, so today I decided that the car’s name is Veronica and the GPS is named Betty. As you can imagine, he was none-too-thrilled but since he didn’t–I did! Enjoy the pictures!!

Took an FRG sponsored trip on the Rhine River. It turned out to be a lot of fun and it seemed like everyone had a blast!

Rob and I moved from Hanau to Kaiserslautern. Move went pretty smooth, but there is a lot of unpacking that needs to get done.

Rob’s New M3 (BMW E92) April 1, 2008

Rob got a call on March 31st saying that his new M3 had been delivered to the dealership and while it’s not ready to come home yet, we were able to spend a few minutes with our new “baby”!  Rob’s really excited to bring her home.  I told him that he needed to think of a name for her.  He’s never named a car before, but I came up with a few…

Trip to Bayeax, Normandy France over President’s Day weekend 2008:

This is a picture of Mother Mary.  It’s on the shore of Gold, the beachhead on the eastern coast.  It was supposed to be destroyed, but the local villagers sawed her in half and buried the top.  After the war, she was reassembled.

This is a tank that has been on the beach for more than 60 years.

One of mission objectives was to create a supply line for the allies.  The allies created 2 bridges out of concrete.  These are MASSIVE structures!

This is one of the bridges that was washed up.

A look in the English Channel.  The bridge structure still remains.  It was only operational for a few months while the allies established Cherbourg, France as the main supply hub.

There is a museum on Gold and this is where the 60th anniversary celebrations were held.

We (EVERYONE) thought this was a real bird…the only way that I know that it’s not is by the way the light is reflecting off of the porcelin seagull.

This is the monument on Omaha Beach where the Soldiers had their re-enlistment ceremony.

Someone put an American flag in the sand.  I don’t know who or when it was done, but what a beautiful picture it turned out to be!

Crosses at the American Cemetary in Normandy, France.
