Fujairah, UAE - Sept 2011

In September, friends went with us for a long weekend in Fujairah, UAE - another emirate 2 hours west through the tree-less mountains. We had a nice, relaxing time swimming, snorkling, eating, etc. But, it was very noticable that we "weren't in Kansas anymore!" Dubai has, apparently, spoiled us. In other words, you definitely feel like you are in the Middle East in Fujairah. Perhaps that is the way it should be?
We tried a coconut milk drink. Probably won't need to do  that again!
Friday Market (open EVERY day) - roadside market - everyone sells the same things for the same price!
Jolee loved the towel elephant the maid left for her
Macey is ready to swim!

Chess and snakes-and-ladder boards - life size - the kids loved them
Chris and kids on Al Aqah beach. Chris and Timothy snorkled around Snoopy island in the background.

Me, too.

Our dog Bailey is not about to be left out - even if it's Greek! She comes in every morning and lays under our table while we do school work. We must be eating too many snacks!

Texas A&M Aggies!

Chris went to a Texas A&M Aggies football game on his last business trip to Texas. He HAD to bring something back for everyone!

Gotta Love Cookie Batter!




We couldn't resist the chance to give Julia her first taste of Chocolate Chip cookie batter. She seemed to enjoy it!
