The Beach Club

Another fabulously wonderful thing about being here is our awesome beach club!  Mike's company subsidizes an annual membership to almost any beach club you want to join and most of the 5 star hotels have them.  We decided on the Hilton's club, The Hiltonia, as it is close to the house with fantastic facilities, including 4 pools and two water slides.  We LOVE it!  It is so much fun for the kids.  We have several friends who are members, which makes it even more fun.  Olivia has even run into friends from school while swimming.  It also has a fitness club, which I have been taking advantage of (not sure what has come over me here--working out almost everyday!).


 This is the awesome shaded baby pool.  I took this picture, pretending to take a picture of my family, but really I had to take it of the woman in the "birkini".  It is still weird seeing husbands in swim shorts and nothing else, next to their wife who is head to toe in a black "bathing suit"!  I have seen these bathing suits for sale at athletic stores here, including the water proof head covering.

Walking to the beach!


My view from the treadmill one day--gorgeous pool, beach and a little camel racing!

Hard to see, but all of those palm trees is the Hiltonia
