Storm with Thunder!

What a day this has been! We decided we needed a bit of a family treat so we went into town to the Royal Meridian for a BIG buffet breakfast out by the pool. What an awesome morning. We sat ate and talked for about 2 hours. After breakfast, we decided to have a stroll around the resort (and, Rats! I forgot my camera!). We walked down to the beach where there was a local gentleman walking a camel! The 'camel walking' was probably for tourist reasons, but still it was awesome to see.

As we walked back to our car, we noticed that a serious looking storm was brewing out over the ocean. So, we decided the best place to watch a storm blow in would be the crescent of the Palm since that's as far out into the ocean as one can get easily from land with a car! The snap above is of the storm clouds rolling in off the open water over the Atlantis hotel. We stood out on the crescent around the Palm watching lightening strike out in the ocean. Awesome stuff. (I used to make a living gathering certain kinds of 'storm data' out in coastal waters - I was not worried about the lightening.) Storms here with rain and thunder are very rare. We only see one a couple of days a year.

And...it keeps getting better.

The husband has to make a business trip to Muscat, Oman. The munchkins and I get to go with him!!!!! I'm so excited I can barely stand it! While in Oman, I'm going to try to post each day to this blog, so be watching for updates. The husband will do his business stuff, and the munchkins and I will explore as much as we can.

Enjoy the weather wherever you are! Peace.
