Post Trip Review

So much going on in my mind . . . I have no idea what to even write about! It was a great trip . . . just great. I have been trying to decide what were my most memorable moments but it is hard! Here are five things that stand out in my mind . . .

1. walking the beaches of Normandy
2. climbing to the top of Mt. Vesuvius
3. visiting the concentration camps (Birkenau and Auschwitz)
4. exploring Vienna
5. enjoying the laid back life of Europe


. . . and here is what Colin remembers . . .

1. Legoland
2. boat (ferry from Copenhagen to Oslo)
3. museum treasure hunt (Copenhagen)
4. feeding birds (every place we went)
5. eating pizza and ice cream

A little run down of numbers . . . remember the half-way point numbers? Wow, we were just as busy!
