Back from Puerto Rico!

So, where do we begin? The trip started with my parents missing their flight on Saturday morning. They forgot a bag at the house and had to go back to get it. Being the nice kids that Andrea, Dan, and I are, we decided we would make the Costco run to save them time. See what happens when you let the pregnant woman shop....

On top of all of our luggage and Dan and Andreas golf clubs, we had the car packed to the rim. This was just the back seat where poor Andrea had to squish in with all the food.










On Wednesday night, we headed into San Juan for dinner at the Marriott. Using the dinner for two certificates, we sure got our $$ worth! I think we took home as much food as we ate. And everything was delicious!




Dan captured one of the many rainbows we spotted while we were in Dorado. This is from the beach at the timeshare. With the exception of one or two days, the weather was great!












For those who have had the privilege of using the dinner for two certificates, you can appreciate this! While I was away from the table, Dan decided to order us "special drinks." (all non-alcoholic drinks were included with the dinner!) He had the biggest smirk on his face until the waiter returned with two shirley temples with triple cherries!!! I will admit they were really good.









I guess all those golf lessons Andrea took in California paid off. She kept up with the guys on the golf course!



Kristin and Mom enjoyed a few drinks at the Bacardi Factory, (maybe a few too many!)




Like two year olds, we all loved riding the Coco Loco! I would say Dan enjoyed it the most, and this is only one of the many times he went up and down the slide.








Thanks to Cindy and Rays discovery of the ferry that takes you into Old San Juan, we took a day trip to tour the island. Dan and I are posing here at the Gate of Old San Juan!




Dad, Dan, Kristin, and one of Dads friends went deep sea fishing. After a day at sea, Kristin was the only one to return with a fish. This is her Mahi-Mahi, she will have to tell you the whole story since I wasn't there. We enjoyed Little Scotty for dinner that night and it was delicious!

There are more pictures to come either later tonight of tomorrow - I hope you enjoyed them!

Great pictures. Looks like you may have you Mom's "buy too many groceries" disease. I think she still has sausages from tailgating a few years ago. Love the picture of Dan going down the slide.

Thanks for sharing the pics. How hard was it to reel that ginormous fish in Kristin?

The fish reeling was actually hard work. My arm was really tired. It was an awesome fish though. We named it little scotty in honor of our fishing captain.

Then we ate it for dinner!

Have a good weekend everybody!
