so, been a week to normandy with 2 friends. Checking out all the D-Day sites etc.

Carentan, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Carentan
Sainte-Mère-Église , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sainte-M%C3%A8re-%C3%89glise
Pointe-de-Hoc, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pointe_du_Hoc
Utah beach , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utah_beach (went swimming there)
Omaha beach , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omaha_Beach
Crisbecq battery , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crisbecq_Battery
Azeville Battery , http://www.normandie-tourisme.fr/pcu/batterie-dazeville/azeville/fiche-PCUNOR050FS0007O-2.html
Dead man's corner , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mission_Albany#Dead_Man.27s_Corner.2C_June_7

And a lot of museums (ranger museum, tank museum, C47, Paratroopers etc).

Photos incoming in a couple days.

Was awesome. Stuff looks so much bigger and more impressive in real, then how it looks on pics or in movies.

i was there with the parents of my godchild. i don't have a wife And for "liking the war stuff", we went to normandy to see the D-day/WW2 sites yes, but i'd call that more "interested in history" then "liking war"
