Friday Brunch

It's been a while since I last updated, but time flies when you are having fun!  GranBobs and GranDebs (Rod's Dad and his wife) came out here to visit us last week, and we had a blast with them!  They flew from Dallas to Paris, where they spent one day/night, but as luck would have it, Paris was experiencing unseasonably cold weather with temps in the single digits and lots of snow!  They quickly boarded a train and headed to Switzerland, where surprisingly the weather was much nicer!  They spent 4 days in Switzerland and then came out to see us in Dubai.  Stopping over in Europe is a great way to break up the trip, and it helps you adjust to the time change.  Bobby and Debbie landed on Friday, Feb 10th and we wasted no time showing them the sights and sounds of Dubai.  As I mentioned, our weekends are Friday/Saturday, and "Friday Brunch" is somewhat of an institution here in Dubai.  A lot of the restaurants and hotels offer some sort of Brunch menu on Friday afternoons, which is usually an all you can eat and drink affair.   We decided to take them to one of the most popular spots, which is Bubblicious at The Westin Dubai.  There are over 10 live cooking stations, food set up for miles, endless champagne, a kids area with food, snacks, Wii, movies, desserts, Chinese acrobats, etc, etc.  It is insane, and something you have to see to believe.
