Ahhh! The beach! We were finally able to work out a trip with BFF, Heather, and her hubs, Scott. We have been trying to do this forever, and after they made the move back to Midland (note: stress), we figured what better way to detox. So off we went to Puerto Rico, San Juan to be exact. We missed our other partners in crime (Holly & Daniel), but it just gives us more reason to plan another trip quickly.
We stayed at the beautifully amazing Ritz Carlton and not only was it gorgeous, but the service was above and beyond. Like they gave us papaya bellini's when we arrived. We seriously did not want to ever leave. We planned a few excursions, but a lot of beach time. The weather was perfect, and the company even better.
It was a trip for the books and I hope to make it back there soon!

| Getting ready to take off. It was soooo early! |

| We finally made it to the beach! |
We visited the old Fort in San Juan which was actually beautiful and interesting. Who knew how strategic the location of Puerto Rico was to protection the other Caribbean islands? Not me, until now.

| Puerto Rico's signature dish is Mufongo. It's awesome! It's mashed plaintains, that are then fried and served with steak and a garlic butter sauce. Yes I'll have more! |

| This guy was on the side of the road on our way to the rainforest. Because horses just hang out on the street in Puerto Rico. |

| Our hike through the rainforest to the waterfall. We were a little under impressed by the size, but it was pretty. And crowded! |

| Everyday they had fresh flower arrangements all over the hotel. I loved them! |
