We are slowly catching up with these adventures. It just takes a while for us to get the motivation to start.
One Sunday, a guy in the ward was telling us about the trip his family took to Belgium. They found the foxholes that the Easy Company of the 506th Infantry Regiment (101 Airborne Division) dug during WWII on the outskirts of Bastogne, Beligum.

Jon on the road that divided the German Army from the Easy Company's foxholes.
The famous church where General McAuliffe replied "Nuts!" when the German Army told the Americans to surrender because they were surrounded.

A bronze bust of General McAuliffe.
On the drive back we made a quick stop at a rest/gas station. A car parked next to us had a rubber chicken attached to the front. We got quite a kick out of it.
