I know it’s been a while since we last posted anything, but with good reason. We had the great opportunity to travel to Israel with both sets of our parents. At first, we were unsure if my father was going to make the trip as he has stage 4 (terminal) metastatic colon cancer, but God was merciful and gave him renewed strength to make the trip. Our first stop…..NEW YORK, NEW YORK! I’ve been to New York more times than I could count, but Lead and his parents had never been, so the first thing to do was take them into the city for a whirlwind tour.
We did the typical….Times Square, 911 Memorial, drive by of the Empire State Building, Wall Street, Trump Tower, Central Park, etc. But, we HAD to allow Lead and his parents to experience KATZ! Let’s just say, we were lucky to have found a great table! I think the best part for us was watching Lead’s mom gasp with excitement at every turn.
Neither of them had ever been to New York so it was exciting watching their faces light up with every turn and every building we pointed out. Side note…. My Mother in “Love” is the sweetest, most precious, most childlike innocence, most giving person I know and I’m so blessed to call her my Mother in “Love”. My Father in “Love” is a character who loves to pick and tease, and I love him just as much as he raised the man I married and love.
Ok! So after New York, we jetted off to Tel Aviv, Israel. What a flight. As you can see, Lead wears a very nice, fluffy yet manly beard on his face. We are not Jewish by religion, but he was approached and asked if he would like to pray with them (they thought he was Jewish) because of his beard. He got a great kick out of that!
The moment we stepped off the plane in Israel, we were GO GO GO the rest of the trip. Instead of telling you every single detail, I’ll just leave you with a few of my favorite pictures from the trip.
