JW Marriott

On Saturday, May 15, we joined our host family (and former Alaskans) at the JW Marriott. They have a membership to the Marriott, so we could go as guests for a small fee. The JW Marriott is about 40 minutes away from Maadi and at a higher elevation, so it is cooler with a breeze and has cleaner air. We all really enjoyed a day at the pool. Or I should say pools, for there are several: wave pool, heated pools, water slide, etc. It seems strange to need heated pools in Egypt, but the nights can be chilly so unheated pools can feel very cold. Especially for skinny 3.5 year old twins. So H&N loved the shallow heated pool and played in there for a long time. Here are some photos that Joe took from our lounge chairs while eating lunch.




H&N seem to be growing accustomed to this expat lifestyle. Too accustomed...

Life is rough for H&N, they needed a break. I mean, really, they don't have their full time nanny yet and have to hang out with Mom all day! Glad to see you are having fun and taking advantage of your time there.

Man! Now that's what I call a stay-cation!

Nathan and Henry look like they were born for that lifestyle!
