After spending a few days immersed in the gore of D-Day and WWII it was time to lighten the mood. And what better place to lift one's spirits then the Loire Valley, land of castles and wine! The Loire Valley is chalk a block full of chateaux, more than three hundred! Unfortunately, we didn't have a whole lot of time to properly explore this beautiful part of France. The things we did manage to do and see were absolutely fantastic and stunning, especially the Chateaux of Chambord and Chenonceau. We stayed at the lovely and very beautiful Chateau de Pray perched on the terraced slopes overlooking the Loire River just outside Amboise. However, the best part was just being able to spend time with Dad! Thanks for a great trip Dad, Love You!
