The last day in Paris found Dave and Jerry at the Military Museum, which has a great collection of just about anything that people can shoot at each other from the beginning of time to WWII. Jerry wanted me to post his pictures without commentary so he can explain when he shows it to someone or a class that actually gives a rip about what it is. So with that said, here they are.

Hello, we're back in the states after a 12 hour trip from Paris, to Amsterdam, Amsterdam to Minneapolis. Not bad as flights go, but I'm not anxious to repeat it anytime soon. I know that the food on Air France is better than Delta. The good news is that we are home. It was a great trip. We learned so much, saw so much, ate so much, drank probably too much, and got along as good as 4 siblings, in-laws, spouses can. (actually it was GREAT).
