Ted and I were able to escape from our busy lives to enjoy some time together in the lovely Puerto Rico! It was A-mazing. Be prepared for lots of pictures to justify the amazingess we saw and enjoyed!
Day 1: Flying- We flew out of MSP airport to Philidelphia then to Puerto Rico. It was a day filled with traveling. We got to our resort around 7:30 in the evening and enjoyed a meal together.

| We are looking mighty chipper for 6:00 am. |
Day 2: Beach/Pool/Gender Reveal - This day we spent some time familiarizing ourselves with the resort, making our site seeing plans, and revealing the gender of our little pumpkin.

OR a ....
Only this envelope knows...  |
|
So we went to a nice restaurant on the resort. We told the server that we would like them to prepare a desert for us with the necessary pink or blue to reveal to us the gender of our little pumpkin.
 |
| Here it is! |
The server presented this desert to us with the chocolate box covering the gender colored sherbet. Together Ted and I lifted the box to reveal the gender of our baby! So fun!
 |
It's PINK!
|
 |
| And it was tasty! |
 |
| Letter to prove it and one happy momma! |
Day 3: El Yunque National Rainforest, Old San Juan
 |
| Our rental minivan. Awesome! |
So we took the van and drove up through the mountain rainforest. We then stopped at various trails to truly experience the rainforest. This is one of our favorite things we did in Puerto Rico.
 |
| New Trail to La Mina Waterfall. |

Later that day we drove to Old San Juan, Puerto Rico. Our first stop was to visit the fort.
We finished the day in downtown Old San Juan.

Day 3: Beach Day! We spent the day at the resort relaxing by the beach and pools. It was also the day that we got so sunburnt that to this day my hands are peeling. That's a first.
 |
| Burning.... |
The resort had some iguanas on location. There is a daily feeding of these 3-5 feet "small dinosaurs" as they called them.
We ended the day with supper.
 |
| All this gave us the meat sweats. Whew! |
Day 4: Culebra Island. This consisted of taking a 1 1/2 hour ferry to the island of Culebra to swim in the 2nd rated beach in the world and snorkeling. This was another highlight of the trip for us.

| Our Ferry |
Flamenco Beach!
Snorkeling at Tamarindo Beach.

| Sea Urchin |
 |
| Coral Farm |

| Coral Reef |
We also saw 4-6 sea turtles. We never thought we would see one, let alone 4-6 of them! Pictures didn't turn out the best, but we got a good video.

Day 5: Go Home.
Hope to see you soon Puerto Rico!
Our boys on the drive home supporting their Puerto Rico shirts. Good to be together again. We love and missed you guys!
Well that summarizes our trip. We can't thank the grandparents enough for taking such good care of our little boys. We had a great time and would love to go back to Puerto Rico again some day.
