Trip to the Holy Land!!

From July 7-17, we headed to Israel and Jordon for a Holy Land tour. It was awesome and something that everyone needs to experience! We started at Tel Aviv and headed up the coast to Caesarea, then over to Mt. Carmel, Megiddo (Armageddon), Nazareth, Cana (where we renewed our vows), and then stayed in Tiberias on the Sea of Galilee. We also went up to Capernaum, Caesarea Philippi, Mt. Beatitudes, and got baptized (again) in the Jordan River. We then crossed the Jordan border and stayed at a hotel in Jordan on the Dead Sea. We took a side trip down to Petra, one of the 7 Wonders of the World, and another "must do"! We headed back into Israel and visited Masada, Qumran, Jericho, Bethlehem, and of course, Jerusalem.

The only thing missing from this trip was our daughter, who we tried to communicate with on a regular basis via skype, emails, and phone. Thank you to CeeCee and Grandpy for watching her while we were gone, and a big thanks to Kacci for skyping at daycare! We couldn't have done it without you!
