My Flashback Feature Series has been on hiatus the past two weeks due to Passover. But now it’s back! This month I’ll be sharing my family’s trip to Israel which was two years ago in April of 2011. Simon was 7 months old, Zachary was 3.5 and Gabbie was 6. We went for Passover and visited Dave’s sister and family, who moved to Israel in 2009. There are a lot of photos – hopefully they will be interesting and enjoyable!
Simon at the airport. We left on April 14 and this was Simon’s official 7 month old photo.
Our first official stop of the trip was the Old City of Jerusalem and the Western Wall – or Kotel. This is the most holy place for Jewish people. The Old City is all stones and beautiful!
Eating in Israel is the best!
These are my kids with 2 of my nephews.

A constant source of entertainment:
It is a joke that if you ask an Israeli for directions, they say to go “straight, straight, straight.” Well, the GPS said it too.
We visited “Genesis Land” which is a reenactment type place about how life was in the times of the Torah. We went with my in-laws and 3 of our nephews.
We sat in a tent and learned about Abraham.
