Chol Hamoed at Herodyon

On the first day of Chol Hamoed Pesach we went to visit Herodyon - the summer palace of king herod which is near Tekoa. It is very close to us and is a pretty easy hike up to the top where you can see clear to Yerushalayim, Efrat and Midbar Yehuda.

This is a picture of me with my sunhat sitting in my stroller while Ema and Abba huffed and puffed up the hill:

This is our family at the top of the hill:

This is a picture of the view (including the 3 Heftziba buildings in our neighborhood!):

and this is Ema standing in from of the view of Har Choma in Yerushalayim:
