Last days in Israel

Tuesday we went to some important places in Jerusalem. It started with a trip to Har Herzl, the Mt. Herzl Military Cemetery. Here's a photo of Isaac putting a rock on the grave of Theodore Herzl, founder of Zionism:

While Isaac and Abba went to Yad Vashem (Israel's Holocaust Memorial and Museum) after that, Mommy took Jonah and me the Israel Museum. We saw this ancient inscription from Maresha, the place where we got to do an archeological dig on Monday (the inscription was found a long time before we got to the dig!)

We also went to "Big Bambu" an exhibit that was a structure made out of bamboo that you could climb. We had been there before but Mommy hadn't. She really enjoyed it, and so did we!

 From there we went to Hebrew University, Givat Ram. Did you know that Albert Einstein founded the campus there? We saw a photo of him. We also played on the grass:

Wednesday was our last full day in Israel. We had breakfast at the King David Hotel. It was FANCY! Then we got to swim in the pool:

After lunch with the whole family (including Granny and Zayde) at the King David, Jonah and I shared a dessert.

 Then we went back to Modiin to pack up and leave for the airport. Here's Isaac on the plane:

 Jonah watched movies on the plane:

 So did I. I watched Muppets Most Wanted, Robots, Spiderman 2, and Mailman Pat.

We were happy to arrive back in the States at Newark Airport. (I'm happy even though I'm not smiling in this picture.)

 

We went to visit Bubbe and Grampa for Shabbat. It was a wonderful summer!
