Asleep on highway 311

Not me but the girls. Out of desperation, and many failed attempts to put Yasmin down for her naps, I got the girls into the car and off we went to destination undecided, oh most likely a mall somewhere. So I thought it was the right turn but I guess it wasn't because I found myself driving on this highway that I'd never been on. It was unfamiliar and seemingly endless. But it was awfully quiet at the back. No correction ... it was beautifully quiet! Sera and Yasmin were fast asleep and I was completely lost on highway 311.

I was too grateful for the silence to even panic, so I looked out for signs and just made sure I didn't drive out of Dubai. Ha ha. After almost 50 minutes on the road, I found myself at the parking garage of a mall, the mall I think I had intended to go. Sera was slowly rousing from her sleep and Yas, was still deep in sleep. So ... is this how our afternoons are going to be?
