But we spent our time in the pool, sea or AirCon. We enjoyed a desert safari which is where we rode jeeps through the sand dunes and the see some camels and enjoy a great Arabic BBQ for dinner. We also enjoyed a cruise through the sea with Captain Tony. Beautiful sea with really warm water - around 92 F. Got to try paddle boarding. Getting ready for Hawaii. Mike joined from USA and got to ring in our birthdays together. Here are some pictures from the fun weekend!

A week in USA...

Got to spend a week in USA for work. First stop was Des Moines where I got to spend a couple days with my favorite peeps. This time we didn't hike a mountain but got to spend some time together. We enjoyed some American food and baseball! Thanks for Cindy, Mitch, Mike, and Lena for driving over and hanging out. And John and Sara for hosting. Some pictures below of course include UNO playing...
Then got to head to Chicago to see my family Mom, Dad, Jennifer, Abby, Ben and great friend Stef and her adorable kids. Dad and I enjoyed some bike riding through the city even though hot weather was all around. And the kids enjoyed the pool and Lego store. Brian and Lisa traveled down with Natalie and Timothy to join us for the Lincoln Park Zoo. What a great weekend in Chicago! Here are some pictures of my visit:
