Never Too Old for Mommy!

Mommy is here! Lisa and I are so excited that she has finally made the trip to Dubai, and is our first official visitor. We are having such a great time having her here, we are going to barricade the door when she tries to leave! In her words she "feels like she is on another planet" but is "loving every minute of it". Lisa and I are soaking up all mothering that we can take. We've been running her around town to see all the sites and pick up a few great meals in between. In a surprise twist we also ran into my second cousin Jim, who is in the Navy. Turns out that his ship was docked in Dubai just for the day and we ran into at the mall. Small world after all! Our first dinner at Mango Tree in Souk al Bahar
