Justin ran the Dubai marathon this weekend, and we decided to all go as a family and make a trip out of it. The girls and I headed to the finish line as Justin ended his race. After some bouncy castle fun, we watched him finish in 3:28 - not bad considering his running has been pretty awful in Qatar and he only ran two miles this past week.
Later that day, we went to the Dubai Mall for some ice cream at the Ice Cream Lab. The shop is set up like a science lab, and the workers make the ice cream from scratch. It has a chemistry feel to it as steam fills the area while each scoop is created. Afterward, we viewed Dubai Aquarium and then went outside to see the Burj Khalifa next door. It is currently the tallest building in the world. The girls have been excited for quite some time to see this building. Then we met a friend for dinner at the best Mexican restaurant in Dubai.
The next day, we went to the movies and then visited a children's museum before flying back to Doha. It was a short trip but still a great weekend away.
