Krak Des Chevaliers

This is likely the best preserved of all the crusader castles in the Mid East and it really was an amazing site. Unfortunately we didn't get a good fam photo in front of it because K and I were too sick to get out of the car. J loved exploring it though and I talked to a man that grew up across the street. He told me he spent his childhood days playing in that castle and I had to agree with him that I couldn't imagine a better place to play. Dad, we were thinking of you the whole time!
