Ayesha.

Few people know that it's a dream of mine to swim with whale sharks. Or for that matter see a whale shark in it's natural habitat. Brian and I went to the Georgia Aquarium after he got out of WOC school just before he started flight school and it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. I could have sat and watched the sharks all day, they are so beautiful and graceful in the water! Of course I am deathly afraid of most sharks - but whale sharks don't eat people. Well ladies and gentlemen...we're off to a land far far away where I MIGHT have the chance to see and maybe even SWIM with a whale shark.

Brian is excited our house comes with a boat. I can't complain!

This is Ayesha and we're going to visit her!!!!!!!!

Day 2: Pointe Du Hoc

Pointe du Hoc is the location where 225 US Army Rangers climbed 100 ft cliffs to take what the allied forces thought was a artillery stronghold for the Germans. Little did they know that many of the guns were moved several days before D-Day.

You can read more about Pointe du Hoc HERE. Pointe du Hoc today looks exactly like it did in 1944. Craters and all. This was by far one of the most interesting parts of our Normandy trip.
