Another Dubai Day!

The morning of day three we decided to head down to Marina Bay and check things out.  It definitely started out on the wrong foot - We had some hiccups finding an ATM machine to pay our taxicab driver.  Once we found a machine and withdrew the necessary cash (dirham) - In our haste to get on with the day - We left the backpack we tote around with us in the TRUNK as well as Matt's cell phone!  So we popped into one of the restaurants to use their phone.  Luckily, Matt was able to get ahold of the cab driver and he returned to The Bay with our things!

Some of the Dubai Skyline

Some of the most interesting architecture in the world can be found in Dubai.  Looks like somebody held onto the roof and gave it a little twist?!

While we were waiting for the cab driver to reappear, the kids and I were able to find several jellyfish floating in the water.

Strollin' Along

For Lunch we found ourselves at a fast food chain of sorts called, "YO! Sushi!"

We decided to eat "appetisers" here and then we went upstairs and ate AGAIN at TGIFridays.  (We needed a good 'ole fat and juicy burger!)  At Yo! Sushi, the food goes around and around on a conveyor belt and when you see something that catches your eye....You simply reach out and snatch it up!  It's dangerous b/c we just kept grabbing stuff!  YUM!  Of course, the kids once again enjoyed the edamame, as well as sushi, soup and tea.

After we made complete HOGS of ourselves at lunch time we basically went back to the hotel in a "Food Coma."  Our evening plans brought us to the Dubai Mall where we got to see the "Dubai Fountains."

Waiting to see the fountains start "dancing" :0)

The Dubai Fountains

These fountains are similar to the famous fountains at the Bellagio Hotel in Vegas.  The water is synchronized to music and with 6,600 lights and 25 colored projectors it is quite a site to behold!  It didn't last nearly long enough :0)

Tallest Building in the World!

While walking through the mall we bumped into some of our friends from Bangalore!  "It's a small world after all!"  After chatting with the Utting Family,  we decided to take the kids ice skating before it closed for the evening.

Strappin' on their skates!

The last time we went skating we were freezin' our butts off on the Frog Pond in Boston...Who would have thought we'd ever go SKATING in the desert of Dubai!?

So much to do in the mall!
