Jenny is going to Israel

Jenny is going to Israel with the GTI Tours. Check out the Blog for Jenny's tour
All this has to fit into the orange and black bag next to Jenny. And under 45 lbs. ?? Really??
 Nutrition for the trip.

Before we could let her go we had a little going away dinner for her at the Tootle's house.
Grandma Dotty has been to Israel so she and I decorated the table with her souvenirs from her trip in the 80's. What a fun time they had talking and looking at the places Jenny will be going.

Here are some postcards and a rock picked up from Jerusalem and maps and other interesting items brought back from her trip.

Grandma Dotty explaining some of the interesting things they did.
What I failed to get a picture of is the pin my mom is wearing. It's made of shells from the Sea of Galilee. Also she is wearing a dress that she bought there. 

A rock from the Sea of Galilee.



Ryan was wondering what all the fuss was about so Nama Dotty took the time to explain to him about her trip to Israel and Auntie Jenny going to the same place. Such a sweet moment. Grandma's are good at taking the time to explain to the children. :)

Jenny decided to take the bag that Grandma Dotty got on her trip. Perfect! We all are very excited for Jenny and her new place of travel and this inspiring life changing trip. Maybe if you click the picture you'll get a closer picture of the pin on my mom's dress, made of shells from the Sea of Galilee. 

She did it!!! She got it all in the bag and with weight to spare. Good job Jen!


 Dad and I are so excited for you and can't wait for the first post on the Blog.

Dropped off at airport at 10:05am. She's pretty excited!

15 days in two bags under 40 pounds. 
May God bless your journey and keep you safe.
We love you. 
See you on the blog.
