A Major Event in My Life!

Today, February 6, 2008, a major event in my life will occur and begin as I fly to Amsterdam, The Netherlands from Atlanta, GA, USA at 5:45pm and begin a seven day tour of France with my two oldest children, Dave and Rick. This trip is my 80th birthday present from them! The highlights of the trip will include time in a small town Chateau Thierry near where my father got the Silver Star in a battle in WW I as the Rainbow Division of "Alabama Boys" turned back the Germans and started the Germans going back to Germany for good. We will also visit wine making in this region, mostly champaign that is made near there. Two days later we drive to Normandy and stay there three days to see a lot of D-Day history, before returning to Paris the last night before our flight back to Atlanta, GA, USA.
This trip is a trip of my lifetime!
