Since we have been back we have gone back to Doha ………
I Feel like we are deffinaitly getting the hang of traveling ! I can have us packed and ready for a weekends away in minutes! Swim suit sun screen and iPad we can go anywhere and do anything!!!
Is it bad that we are definitely getting used to this life , long weekends involve beaches and fancy hotels instead of our old life that involved nothing but house chores and maybe ice cream out
We spendt just 2 days at the same hotel we stayed in last time and we had a blast! Many hours at the pool , mixed with some abaya free shopping! which we found a Dollar store! I can not tell you the pure joy we had going through the dollar store! we have not seen one since we have been here so this was a really big deal! We also managed to get to timhortons’ 3 times in those two day and bought home 80 more timbits to our “stalk” in the freezer. I can not tell you how wonderfull it is to sit down at the end of a crappy day and have something that is so simple , Food is one thing you think you can adapt to where you are living , but when it comes down to it. It makes a big difference cause you can eat local food all you want but at the end of it you need what you are used to. The worst part is when we are shopping it all looks the same , ohka oreos ,how different can they be …well they must make them some place else because they are not the same! m&ms that is another one! you know when you get m&m’s and they are all the same size color look like this pretty handfull of happiness……not here , i swear they take all the reject from the bags that good to western world and package them to send here!so not the same
How ever somethings are better here once you have found them…..there is a strange language with expats and people on camp ….everyone knows where to get something so if you talk to enough people you can find the good spots around…but you don’t want to tell to many people or the next time you go there wont be what you needed..so you kinda hold you cards close and only tell people that you really like…
But we were told about the fish market in the nearby town and had a doc appt in the town which was super exciting for me as I do not get out of camp very often so this was a big date for me !!! older kids we in school and i got to go with only one kid and my husband big date for me!……well from the outisde of the market you may not stop and if you did stop you would turn around because the smell……wow . But a reliable person told us we were good to shop here…and we did! check out these!
Full Shrimp it was the kids first shimp boil maybe mine as well , it was tons of fun! we had brought the spices we needed for this back from the states that last time we were there and it was awsome! they dove right in and had a blast!
more picture of life on camp , Colby went on a field trip to the hobby farm and rode this sweet little pony
now i know this looks red neck ...but thats only cause it is...School had water fun day which consisted of plastic on a hill and a fire hose.....so much fun the kids loved it!
Just another day at the driving range , kids are loving golf and getting slightly better.
Spring break pool party! living the dream days of nothing but swimming and playing
Now on to the next!.......My parents came to Saudi! #adventure
