Herod's Palace

Herod had many palaces including his winter palace in Jericho.  Something interesting about Herod was right before he was about to die he told his guards to kill all of the chief judges on the day of his death.  He wanted this because he knew he was not well liked and that when he died no one would be sad.  He wanted there to be mourning on his death, so he figured if other people died on the same day, that people would be sad on the day of his death. The guards never did kill the chief judges though. But that is weird, right? Moral of the story is live your life in a way that you want to be remembered. 

Cute children we saw there!
