Tour Itinerary |
Day 1
BIBLICAL HISTORY CENTER • PASSOVER
MEAL:
Our travels today take
us on a very unique experience. The
Biblical History Center is an interactive
living museum presenting life in ancient
times. Step back in time as you sit in
a real goat-hair tent like the nomadic
shepherds have lived in for thousands of
years. See tombs like those in which the
prophets and Jesus were buried. Visit a
village and city gate area to see what life
was like over 2000 years ago. Enter the
Time Tunnel and learn about the worship
practices of pagans, Jews and Christians
from 2000 BC to 500 AD by exploring
replicas of excavated houses of worship
from Israel. Dine with the ancients
as we partake of a Passover Meal much
like that which Jesus ate at the Last Supper.
We overnight in the LaGrange area
for two nights. (D)

HILLS AND DALES ESTATE:
Today
we travel to Callaway Gardens, nestled
in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains
at Pine Mountain, Georgia. Upon
arrival we’ll have a guided tour of the gardens,
some of the largest in the world.
Did you know that butterflies taste with
their feet, or that they see 9000 times
what we see? Those are some of the
amazing facts you’ll learn at the incredible
Day Butterfly Center, where we’ll see
more than 1,000 butterflies of some fifty
species along with hummingbirds and
pheasants. Lunch is included at one of
the Callaway Gardens restaurants. Leaving
the gardens, we visit Hills and Dales
Estate, the Fuller E. Callaway Family
Home, a beautiful Italian villa. Here we
experience fine architecture, beautiful
gardens and inspiring family stories. Enjoy
the tranquility of the historic Ferrell
Gardens, walk down garden paths continuously
cultivated for over 175 years. (L)
