Grant's Abu Dhabi Adventure

Jessica's brother Grant graduated from high school in May and received a trip to Abu Dhabi as a present from his parents. During his 3 week visit in June, we took him jet skiing, to Qasr Al Sarab, Dubai, rode bikes around the F1 track, Ferrari World, the Grand Mosque, Emirates Palace, the Beach Club, and Egypt. It was quite the adventure for his first trip outside of the United States. We had a good time spending time with Grant and hope he comes over the big pond again soon.

Abu Dhabi Business Names

It really makes you stop and think about the process that these business owners went through to come up with their company names. Easy Curtain, Lucky Chance Flowers, Beach Water Technologies, and Happy Friend Saloon.

Monaco Grand Prix

How lucky can one guy be? Brian got two free tickets to watch the Monaco Grand Prix from the Hotel de Paris in Monte Carlo. At $15,000 per ticket, the Hotel is considered to be one of the best places to view the race (Tony Stark watched the race from the same spot in Iron Man 2 - just saying). Special thanks to Patrick at the Monte Carlo Beach Club-Saadiyat Island for the hook-up.

Here's a really cool interactive, panoramic 360 photo of various SBM owned resorts, restaurants, and clubs in Monte Carlo.

We're sure he and his friend Jules had a little too good of a time during their 5 day holiday because it took both of them the rest of the week to recover.  As for the details of their trip, the photos speak for themselves.
