Roundabouts

The roundabouts are growing on me. If you miss your turn, you just go around again--you just have to ignore the commentary from the back seat..."Mom, we're going in circles."

Another playground

Including a complicated teeter totter.

Our new digs

Never been so happy to check into a basic Novotel hotel.

Our last B&B (4 nights) left a lot to be desired. I guess when the proprietor serves you your hot chocolate in her bathrobe, you know it can't be good.

On the long walk back

About 5k each way--getting some exercise to counteract all the croissants!

City of Rennes

Walked into the city center today. Lots of rain--will need to look about buying another umbrella tomorrow. It just isn't possible to fit 4 people under our little pink umbrella and still walk!

Playing at the playground

Discovered this park on our home--had to stop to try it out!

Chicken flavored potato chips

Marlee liked them. I was not such a big fan.

Dinner with Le Mont Saint Michel in the background

Very windy!

Omaha Beach Normandy

We visited the US memorial and cemetery--very moving.

This is a view of the beach.

Three beauties!

Beautiful beach

From the cliffs.

Queen's of the rock

It started raining right after this picture and we had to run for the car.

Emma's lunch

So much for healthy!

At the beach in Brittany

We play at the beach in Brittany today--in the town of St.-Jacut-de-la-Mer.

Mont Saint Michel

What a beautiful place!

Clown car

This is our car for the week of touring the Normandy region. It is amazing---we all fit plus our luggage!

Sheep crossing in Normandy

Moules-frites

Yum!
