A weekend away

We needed a break from the empty villa so we went away for the weekend to a hotel that's only a few blocks away. We stayed at the Jumeirah Beach Hotel. Its a beautiful hotel with free access to Wild Wadi world (water park). We didn't arrive until around 7:30pm on Thursday evening. We went straight to the pool. Almost no one was at the pool so it was like we had the whole thing to ourselves. Larry and I quickly found the pool bar, hurray for beer! On a side note our liquor license is still in process so its been a while since we've had any. Then we had a late dinner at 10pm - we're learning to be international and eat late.

On Friday we got up early and ate at the ENORMOUS international buffet. It was about $40 per head but oh so good. We'll go back sometime for a special treat. Then off to Wild Wadi world for the day. Since we had been there once before the girls knew the park well and they could go off on their own while Larry and I sat in the chilled water wave pool. We had another late night dinner again that night.

On Saturday we hung out in bed and watched TV. Then finally went down to get some breakfast then went to Wild Wadi again. It was a great weekend. Below are some pictures.
