Well we survived our adventures in driving. On Friday we picked up the car and drove through Jerusalem to Yad Vashim (the Holocaust Museum). It was a very moving place. You can't help but be emotional while looking at all the records of this moment in time.
We did pretty good at the driving thing, only got turned around 2 times in Jerusalem. Then we headed out of town to Tel Aviv and the beaches! We made it to our hotel, checked in and hit the beach. We were so excited about getting to the beach that we ran out without any supplies - food, water, books, music, anything! We hung out for a couple hours and swam as well. The water is a great temperature and very blue. It was wonderful just to float on the waves.
Today we did the same thing, only this time we went prepared. We hit the beach at about 10 a.m., found a couple chairs and umbrellas, and had a grand time. We stayed out for about 6 hours. By that time Melissa was a bit pink and Melanie had a few pink spots too. It was just so nice to lay on a beach all day and not have to do anything.
Tomorrow we head to Acre, a Crusader town, and then on to the Sea of Galilee to stay Sunday and Monday. Hope to update with more pictures soon (the place we are tonight doesn't have a USB port).
Miss you all!

Sounds like a refreshing time. Now to continue the grand tour...
Enjoy it all! Love, mom
The beach trips sound like fun, maybe a bit too much time in the sun but that's okay too. Enjoy everything. Look forward to more pictures. Love the witch
