Weekend Recap: Atlantis, The Palm Dubai - In Pictures

We took the opportunity that we had to spend all weekend in Dubai for the baby classes for a mini vacation and a stay at The Atlantis, The Palm Dubai hotel.  It was a great weekend and likely to be our last trip as a couple without kids (if you don't count the dogs).  As promised, I kept my camera with me at all times - trying to get better at the whole picture-taking thing before Savannah arrives!

Here's our stay at The Atlantis, in pictures.  

Nationalized oil company means you don't have Shell station at every corner.
Selective gas station placement means long lines.  Thankfully, they move pretty quickly and you don't have to pump your own gas!

On our way from Abu Dhabi to Dubai!

Driving into Dubai.  This is what I imagine the Capitol looks like in "The Hunger Games"

The Atlantis!

Iran is just across that water...eerie!

Adam on his way to check us in for the weekend...and carrying my camera equipment. 

Great afternoon swim.

Our dinner at Nobu - we weren't impressed with the food, though they played good music.

Enjoying a cocktail for the two of us.

Looking super pregnant.  Stretchy dresses are comfy, but not my visual friends!
