[ beach pizza ]

IT'S FUNNY how when you live somewhere, often you don't take the time to enjoy what's around. At least that seems to happen with us. So to shake things up a bit, we decided to take a holiday for a couple of hours...


The Jumeirah Beach Hotel is a lovely resort on the Gulf and a perfect spot to get away from it all...


... with sparkling waters, sandy beaches and a direct view to the Burj Al Arab...


We decided to pretend for a couple of hours and enjoy some pizza by the beach...


... a couple of fruity mocktails...


... it was the perfect escape from real life...


Why we don't do this type of thing more often is beyond me. I guess you just get into your normal routine and weekends are spent doing the typical stuff, running errands, going to movies...

Sometimes I need to remind myself that in only a few short months, it will be too hot again to be outside and we'll be trapped indoors for the summer. Hmm... where should our next "holiday" be?
