Atlantis the Palm and Aquaventure

On our Dubai bucket list was staying at Atlantis and going to their Aquaventure water park. Luckily there are some awesome Ramadan deals on now so we got to spend this past weekend there! 

The check in was absolute chaos with hundreds of people checking in so after an almost 40 minute wait, we were thrilled to be upgraded to a suite on the 18th floor! 

Here is the main lobby, taken after everyone had left:

Here is the view from our room our over the city of Dubai:

We had fun taking selfies by the iconic arch:

And how about some night time photos?

Ripley's First Hockey Tournament

Today was the first hockey tournament for Ripley's Tykes team. They divided the team into quarters and Ripley played on the six man Team One. They were very well named because they ended up winning first place! Ripley had a goal and a great time!
