Puerto Rico

We had the most fabulous vacation in Puerto Rico. Getting there was much more difficult now due to all the Covid issues, but it all worked out. We left at 3am for the airport and spent most of the day traveling.  When we arrived we settled into the house and Mom had us a welcome drink to toast to starting our vacation!








Day 1 we went to spend the day on Flamenco Beach. We enjoyed lunch and snorkeling and seeing all the tropical flowers and fruit and shells. The beach was so white and the water was the most beautiful shade of turquoise! Blake said it’s one of the top 10 beaches in the world and I can see why! After we returned home we made dinner at the house and visited on the patio.
















Our house was 2 blocks from the beach so today we spent the day playing on the beach. Amber and I read our books, Troy skim boarded and took pictures of crabs, and Teague played in the sand and found a ton of new fruits to explore. In the evening we met Blake at LiT to see if for the first time up and running. We enjoyed a celebratory drink to cheers all his hard work to make it become reality! 


















































Today we decided to let our sunburns rest and tour Old San Juan. We saw a lot of the city, toured the fort grounds and did some shopping. We ate lunch at a small place that had amazing food!! Troy even tried the red snapper and it came as a whole fish! Once we finally got home we all were exhausted so we stayed in for dinner and went to bed early.































It was a rainy beach today, but we made the best of it by going to the beach next to Blake’s second business venture Wing Shack. He has some fun specialty drinks and fabulous wings!! He had a special coconut drink that Teague had asked for and Teague brought the Guanabana juice to try with Blake. After we got home, the kids wanted to rest at the house but with Dad, but the rest of us went on back to LiT to hang out. 
























































Today we went to church with Blake. The service was so good and I’m glad he found such a great place to plug in. We then went to the beach for a bit and ended up at LiT for dinner. We tried so much food and it all was amazing!! 












On our last day, Blake and Heydi joined us for a beach day and pizza on the patio at the house. It was a relaxing way to end our trip.
