Dinner at the Ritz Carlton (Trader Vic's)













The weather was great when we got back to Bahrain and we had dinner outside at Trader Vic's.  Food was great and so was the atmosphere.  We finished the night by singing a belated Happy Birthday to Cody by request from Papaw and Grammy.  Grammy picked out some special appetizers off the menu which included a beef on a stick that we could cook ourselves on a fire. It included a special dipping sauce that Grammy said was " to die for".  (Fuel on a stick) Right Grammy! HA. When leaving we passed by all the "reserved parking" cars so Cody took a pose by his future birthday car which was a 2010 Yellow Ferrari.

Papaw & Grammy's Saudi Visit














Papaw and Grammy had a safe trip to Bahrain! The flight is around sixteen hours. Jeremy was able to get them visas to travel to Saudi. It's really difficult to do but he was able to do it. We traveled to Saudi upon their arrival. It's a two hour drive (depending on traffic/causeway). It worked out great! We arrived in Saudi at 3 a.m. The guys stayed up to watch the Chicago Bears game which started an hour later. The Bears won! Later that day, Jeremy grilled some awesome steaks! Grammy and I went to water aerobics and meet several Ladies that live in the compound. Luckily, the pool was heated. The kids were a little disappointed because the scooter wasn't holding a charge. So Papaw had to push 'em around. The following day we had a picnic by the pool. For dinner, we enjoyed a new Chinese Restaurant. On Sunday, we headed back to Bahrain. We allowed Cody to "skip" school to spend time with the Family. All in all we had a great time.
