Waiting to be turned down on Sunday when we tried to catch a flight out to the states. The boys playing and enjoying life :) Being a kid is a pure Joy!
We try again tomorrow...Good Luck to us :)
Happy Memorial Day!
We went to Luxemburg to go and see the American Cemetary and Memorial there for those who died in the war in that area during 1941-1945. There are 6 of these cemetaries in this part of the Rhineland area which is part of France, Luxemburg and Belgium. Battle of the bulge was amongst one of the many battles fought against Nazi Germany to help keep the freedoms of so many. It was a somber experience being there and reading up on what happened. So sad. Let freedom ring brings on a whole new meaning.
