Party Of Five in Dubai: Cousin Angie Comes to Dubai!

I never thought I would see the day, but Cousin Angie came to visit us here in Dubai last week! We were beyond thrilled to have her here, and this was huge considering she doesn't like to travel beyond her 10 square mile radius back home in Texas! I've been telling her for years that she needs to come, and this year she finally did. Angie works for Briggs-Freeman Sotheby's Farm and Ranch division in Dallas, and it just so happened that Sotheby's opened up their Dubai office a few months ago! They were having their Dubai Open House, so several of her associates also flew out here for the all festivities. It could not have worked out more perfect as all of their company events were within walking distance from our hotel, so she was able to combine work with play! The twins had just as much fun as I did spending time with Cousin Angie, and they loved hanging out in her room, playing on her phone, looking at her videos and pictures and not allowing her any time to herself! Mason also enjoyed having Angie here, because she always goes out of her way to make him feel special: talks baseball, looks at ALL of his baseball and football cards, throws the ball with him, visits his school, etc, etc. I loved that Angie was able to share our day to day life, meet our friends, survive a sand storm, experience the crazy traffic and road rage, stroll along the beach and splash in the Gulf, enjoy the sunshine and 80 degree temps, watch Mason at baseball, celebrate Mason's 8th birthday and have lots and lots of laughs! Our time together was priceless, and it was such a treat having her here!
