Great Weekend with the Johnstons!

Last weekend, our friends Mike and Erin, came to visit us from Kuwait. Isaac met them during an arts conference in Qatar earlier this year and I was so happy to they came to Dubai so I could get to know them as well. They are an amazing couple, and we had a blast with them! We have so many common interests and values, and within a few hours it felt as if we'd all known each other forever. It was an insanely busy weekend for Isaac and I, as we already had photography and SAT obligations, but we managed to get in some good quality time with the Johnstons.

On the night of their arrival we introduced them to the oh-so-delicious cheese bread from Al Reef.


Mmmmmmmmmmmmm... cheesy goodness....


The next day we set out for the Dubai Mall (just a side note- this is a fantastic mall!) and feasted on Taco Bell for lunch. YUM! It's all about the simple pleasures, folks... =)




Later that afternoon we headed down near the Burj al Arab and took Mike and Erin's portraits. These two were ridiculously cute together! Check out the rest on Wayfarer.




Later that night we grilled up some steak and shrimp, and had tostadas and corn pudding for dinner. Miller made sure to get plenty of snuggle time with Mike and Erin- he LOVED them. Pretty sure the feeling was mutual...


Nevermind my buck-toothed grin... =P



Reaching for snuggles



Kissing machine!


That night we met up with friends from Dubai and Kuwait at Barasti. It was a nice, low key night out, with the stars above (somewhere, behind the smog) and sand between our toes.







We had a fabulous weekend and can't wait to hang out with Mike and Erin again!!! Thanks, guys, for sending us pictures to remember the weekend by!
