Puerto Rico!













So Thuc and I have officially been together for 2 years! To celebrate that and Valentine's Day, we decided we needed to go somewhere warm. Coincidentally, his sister Thuy, husband Brad, and son Benjamin had the same idea. We decided to go to Puerto Rico because
1. it's temperature is in the mid-80s all year round
2. it's an island in the Carribean
3. you don't need a passport to go (important since Benjamin is only 8mo old)
4. nor do you need to go through customs or border control

We had a fabulous time. The temperature was prefect when the sun was out for a great day poolside. There was a constant breeze which made it very easy to bake for too long on one side since you were never miserably hot. The ocean was warmer than the pool at the hotel but there were many high waves. The last few days we were there, there were alot of people out on their boards waiting to catch some waves.
Highlights of the trip included:
1. laying next to the pool 3/5 days.
2. shopping and buying two REAL Coach purses for $230 total.
3. being around the cutest baby EVER
4. Benjamin cutting his first tooth.
5. having nothing to do and no phone to answer!
I highly recommend going for a quick, rather inexpensive getaway! This may become an annual event :)
