Family in Abu Dhabi

Our first visitors finally made it to Abu Dhabi on March 9, 2011. After Paul's dad came back from Active Duty, his parents finally made it over to Abu Dhabi. They stayed for two weeks March 9- March 23 and during those two weeks we packed it with spending time with family and sight seeing. Activities included:
  • Sand dunning
  • Seeing camels in the dessert
  • Heritage Village
  • Kids Park
  • Grand Mosque
  • Aquarium in the Dubai Mall
  • Snow World at the Mall of the Emirates
  • Jebel Hafeet
  • Oasis in Al Ain
  • Emirates Palace
  • Even drove by the Presidents house in Abu Dhabi, all you could see was the gate, but it is in there somewhere.
  • Went to the famous port and looked at flowers, fruit and vegetables
  • Play-Guess How Much I Love You
  • Took Pictures of Burj Khalifa the tallest building in the World,
  • Atlantis on Palm Island,
  • Al Dar HQ (circle building)
  • Burj Al Arab Hotel in Dubai (sailboat building)
  • Toured Sydney's school-The British International School
  • Even took them to see where Paul works, even if all you could see was the gate entrance.

Sydney went countless times to the play ground and played with Granny and Papa. Heather was a added blessing to the trip since we just had her two months ago. I think they both enjoyed there grandparents. We even got a date on our Anniversary it just doesn't get any better then that. Hope you enjoyed your time at our home away from home.

  1. Beth and Paul,

    We had a great time seeing all the sights but, especially being with the family. Sydney, Heater, Lucy and Teddy were great. We just need to live closer! Dad just asked me the other day how many miles we needed to make another trip to see you.

    Love,

    Mom/Dad/Granny and Papa
