We took a trip to Jerusalem at the beginning of January.  This is inside the Garden Tomb at Jerusalem

 
At the Garden Tomb

 
At the Garden of Gethsemane on the Mount of Olives

We walked across the Kidron Valley to the Old City of Jerusalem

With granddaughter Asia at the Western Wall

With the group at the Damascus Gate

 
We had a fun time in the Dead Sea.  I was so floaty (my shoes, too) that I could hardly stand up to get out!

 
At the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem.  The guide pointed out that this was not the original manger.  Thanks for the tip!

 
On the Sea of Galilee at the town of Capernaum, where Jesus called four of the disciples as "fishers of men"

 
This is the Sea of Galilee from the Mount of Beattitudes

We went down to the shore of the Sea of Galilee where the girls got water and sand to take home

 
Down by the Jordan River
