A Visit to Eastern Turkey

This week we took a trip to Van. Van is located in eastern Turkey about two hours away from the Iran border. It is also close to Mt. Ararat. We didn't get to see it but we did get to see some other mountains close by. Van is also famous for it's Van cat. This cat is special because it has two different colored eyes. It was nice to see a a different side of Turkey. But the best part of the trip was spending some time with good friends. We stayed with our friends, Jackson and Sheryl. They have a little girl, Klaire, who is three months younger than Bailey. She is a cutie. They had lots to talk about - hair, their crazy parents, etc. We also got to visit with Stephen and Sara and then Jonathan and Stephanie and their two boys Ethan and Dunloe. It was a great trip.
