Bubby's Visit

About a week or so after we moved in, Bubby moved in for about five weeks. We still didn't have air conditioning downstairs, but somehow Bubby was OK with a couple of high powered fans in the office/guest room.

Bubby helped Ima with the baby and the kids and the general task of getting us unpacked and settled after the move. This included a mandatory trip to Ikea, and a few other trips to local destinations to buy all the little things we needed (and wanted) to make our new home more Heimish.

The climax of Bubby's trip was the Schwadron Bar Mitzvah in Beis Shemesh on Parshas V'Eschanan (Shabbos Nachamu), followed by a 3 days and two nights at the Holiday Inn in Ashkelon.


We picked the place because they advertised separate swimming for men and women, but it turned out to be 8-9 AM for men and 9-10 AM for women, with very little privacy at the outdoor pool.

The kids enjoyed the beach as well, equipped with their sand toys, courtesy of Bubby. No this is not one of the kids para-sailing, but the kids certainly enjoyed watching


On the way back, we also stopped off at the caves of Beit Guvrin, before returning to Mitzpeh Yericho on Tuesday evening.
