Field Trip
Today we went to the Bible Holyland Exhibition in Los Angeles. It was amazing! The girls had a blast and can't wait to take daddy with us next time. They are especially excited about the dolls they bought at the gift shop, which were made in Egypt. Here's some information on it.
"The Holyland Exhibition was built in the late 1920s as an educational center and museum; the two-story complex houses an incredible collection of Egyptian, middle Eastern and Biblical items. The Bible Art and Archaeology Room has stones, pottery and other items from Nazareth, Bethlehem and the Jordan River. Travel back in time with us and brush up on your ancient history, religious studies, geography and archaeology. It includes artifacts from all over the biblical lands, including “centuries-old furniture inlaid with mother of pearl, 5,000-year-old oil lamps, ivory and silver Mideastern jewelry, tapestries, and a 2,700-year-old sarcophagus."
It was amazing to see such ancient pieces displayed. We learned so much on this field trip but definitely need to go back. There is so much more to discover, see, and learn about there. A hidden treasure indeed! It really does bring the old testament to life!
