What we did on July 4th

What do you do in the Middle East for an American holiday? Well, probably the same thing we'd do on any other day... spend the day in the sun. Wes organized a trip with 10 other people in the newsroom to rent a bus and spend the day at Dubai's Wild Wadi Water Park.

Our VIP cabana (complete with view of Lazy River, towels, chairs, private waiter, VIP cuts for the water slides , water and snacks). Not a bad deal, really.


Will goes surfing. I did too and it was soooooooo awesome.


Lots and lots of tubes and water slides
