The boys had a four day weekend and given we're trying to squeeze everything in and every moment out, we decided to cross another "to do" off the list and make a quick trip to Dubai. The boys have wanted to go to Dubai ever since they saw the city on the TV show The Amazing Race. Specifically, they wanted to see the water park slide that went through clear tunnels with sharks in them. It really is amazing that the government (sheikh) has literally built this over-the-top, biggest-of-everything, glittery, shiny world, literally out of desert. And in less than 30 years!
It was a great getaway and the waterpark did not disappoint. Nor did the Burj Khalifa. Kenny thought I'd be unbearable because of the heat, but it really wasn't that bad given it was around 100 degrees every day. Pretty much you go from A/C to A/C and it seemed really dry, so not much complaining from me. Shocking to all of us.

| I've never seen so many huge aquariums in my life. In the hotels, malls, waterpark, airport. |

| Tallest building the the world...the Burj. Although Dubai is supposedly building one twice as high. |

| A completely artificial city sitting where there was only desert. |

| A green Lamborghini...because why not? Boys thought it was so cool. |

| Still can't believe I got talked into this slide |
