While the Boys are Away, the Girls Will Play--In Normandy!

Nick has been in Africa (well, on a boat off the coast of Africa) for over a week and a half now, so when my friend Katie suggested a girls' trip since her hubby was out of town too, I eagerly jumped on board.  We decided on the Deauville/Trouville area of Normandy for its beaches and easy drive from Paris.

Paris has been rainy and cold recently, and the weather in Normandy wasn't much different, but we did get some sun and had a blast hanging out.  Also, how perfect are these flags we found?!?
