6) getting to finally show chase and britt what we have been talking about for almost a year!
7) getting to spend some one-on-one time with sayla
8) finally getting to tour Sultan Qaboos Mosque (we have been kicked out twice)

That's still one of my favorite pictures of all time. It truly encapsulates the saying "a picture is worth a thousand words"!! :)
Hope the trip is going fabulously well!!
