Story: Combo of driving and sightseeing along Omaha beach.
Visit to the American Cemetery at Colville sur Mer was overwhelming at times. 

We had spent the morning at The Memorial Museum in Caen so we didn't really have enough time, in retrospect. In the future would allow a full day. Since we are staying in Cancale it was a long late drive home. 
Tips: I gave this 5 stars - worth a voyage
