As the weather gets scorching hot and other schools around the world are getting out for summer, we have struggled over the last couple of weeks, knowing that we are still in school for several more weeks. So we decided to do what many other people do in Doha when they want to escape but cannot leave: go on a staycation to a hotel resort. We joined our next door neighbors, the McInnis's at the Grant Hyatt Resort for the weekend and enjoyed some quality time at the pool and beach. We also took advantage of the endless food at the club lounge and at a breakfast brunch; both included foods that are either hard to find in Doha or are too expensive to buy on a regular basis.
The kids had a great time as well. They played with our neighbor's kids, Keira and Ewan, the entire time. The beach included some floatation obstacles in the water such as a rock climbing wall and a big hot dog that were a big hit. They also learned how to chicken fight in the pool. Our girls sat on top of the McInnis kids and tried to knock each other off. The only problem was that Ewan couldn't touch the bottom of the pool without going under water, but he still did his best, jumping up and down out of the water to breathe. To top off the pool time fun, our families got together and tried to see how many people we could stack on top of one another! Here are a few photos and videos of are our time in the pool.
Our stay was a wonderful getaway, and it truly felt like we were in a tropical paradise away from the daily grind. Now we only have three weeks to go until our summer break!
