Petra!

Joe decided to take advantage of a long weekend and fly back to Jordan for Lindsay's birthday!  Jon picked us up at the airport and we were reunited with him, Jessica, and Amelia for another fun weekend in Jordan!  Having seen most of the major things, except for the big one, on our last visit we decided that this was the perfect time to see the ancient rose city of Petra.  If you don't know about Petra, well, you should!  It is truly one of the most amazing sites on the planet and, if nothing else, you might remember it from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade or Transformers.  We hiked around Petra for two days, over 20 miles and thousands of steps up staircases carved in the sides of mountains.  We saw the most beautiful cave dwellings imaginable and truly enjoyed exploring a city that has been around for 10,000 years!  We are posting a lot of pictures because they deserve being seen!
