Up the 'Fashion Car park' we drove.... It is impossible NOT to feel carsick as you drive up the eight levels to the start of the car park...
Where we usually park, you end up quite near the biggest bookshop in the country (but it does feel like the biggest in the world), 'Book World'. I snuck a piccie, you're not meant to take photographs in there. I bought a couple of guide books, all ready for our holiday!
Outside the bookshop, we peered down to see other families playing on the lighted floor, three levels down. It was hard to get Lily to move from that spot. She loved the lights.
I quite like getting to Dubai Mall early, if anything to beat the crowds, like we did today. This photo was taken at around 10:30am. If it was a few hours later, the place would be pumping, and I'm not really one for crowds. Especially in shopping malls.
And of course, no visit to this particular mall is complete without seeing the Aquarium. Our girls love it.
Monet thinks a visit to this mall, actually any Dubai mall, is not complete without going to choose her own bag of sweets. *Argh* MrL and I usually take turns to help Monet pick out her sweets, today it wasn't mine. ;P
And speaking of sweets, when Lily starts to get restless in the pram/stroller, it only takes a little playing with her big sister for her to forget her worries of being strapped in.
Today we picked up some bargains - though I didn't spy anything I liked (think I'm getting fussy) in the clothing department, Monet scored a couple of real bargain pieces from Pumpkin Patch, as it is Summer Sale Time here in the UAE. Funky dude.
That was our day out. What did you get up to on the first day of your weekend?
