as I had mentioned before Chase’s parents came for a visit a few weeks ago (can’t believe it is already April & their trip has come and gone… crazy how time does that) Anyway, I took over 1,200 pictures while they were here, I am pretty sure Cecil took that many as well. I am going to attempt to share with you the highlights of their trip- not sure how many parts there will be, but here is the start!
First, I want to say what a great time we had with them! It was such a blessing to have them come out and visit us, see our life out here, the country that we have fallen in love with, and see the people that our hearts have been drawn too. We covered a lot of ground while they were here and got to explore many things that Chase and I hadn’t even seen yet. Since I was at the end of my first trimester I tried to keep up…. but man I have never been so tired in my whole life as I was the first 3 months of our sweet-pea’s life!
Thanks coming to visit us! We love you both and miss you already!
March 2nd… picked the McGough’s up at the airport and made our way to the mall for some of our favorite pizza at UNO’s pizza (a place we always at together in ft. worth & of course they have it in Dubai!)
… to keep them awake from jet lag we decided to take them to Global Village- I think it did the trick (at least for an hour) & we got a little shopping in…
…our first stop in our country was to the capital… we stayed at a gorgeous guest house the first night…
… a visit to the capital is never complete without a trip to the Muttrah Souk downtown for some yummy Arab food, bargaining, and people watching…
… breakfast overlooking the ocean & exploring the fishermen boats by the sea…
… after breakfast we went on a driving tour which included the Sultan’s Palace…
… our last day in the capital we went to the Oman Dive Center– probably my favorite day… Chase & Cecil went snorkeling while Glenda and I enjoyed a beautiful view, delicious food and great conversation all while getting a slight tan! I think Cecil was a little tired after their outing 🙂
