Christmas in Puerto Rico 2011

We are usually not home for Christmas, we always travel somewhere

with my side of the family.  We would mainly travel to Mexico and 

then to Dallas to spend New Years at my sisters when we still lived 

in California.  On 2006 we decided to take nice big trips.  Our first 

big trip was to Maui on Christmas 2007, prior to having kids. This 

past year we decided to go to Puerto Rico.  There were a total of 15 

of us who went. We had a good time even though it was a big group.

The kids playing as we sat outside on the patio of a 

restaurant waiting for our lunch.

It is hard for Angel to pass up fresh coconut water.

Here is Stephen trying some coconut water.

Victoria enjoying her milk while watching the fountain.

Stephen and Samuel being silly.

Castillo de San Cristobal

Walking up to to El Castillo

There were cool looking streets in San Juan.

The kids had fun exploring and looking out onto the ocean.

"Mi Papi," we were so fortunate to still travel and have our

dad join us.  You never would have guessed, but four days

prior to this my dad had a mild heart attack.  He had a stent put

in on Friday and we flew out on Sunday, with permission from

the doctor, but with limitations on things he could do. God is so great!

We did a lot of walking on this day.

One of the views from Castillo San Felipe del Morro

Commonly know as "El Morro"

Ariana and Victoria; I love the way they are walking

hand by hand.  Too cute :)

I love clouds, and there were so many cool looking clouds here.

It was really windy at this point.

Victoria trying to remove a cannon ball.

My best attempt of taking a group picture of the kids here.

Victoria looking at her daddy through this window.

View from up above.

Amazed to see the depth of some of these walls.

Relaxing a little before leaving El Morro.

Enjoying the ice cream grandpa bought us.

Cool looking church

Walking back down towards the car.  Victoria wanting

to be so independent.  She did not want us to hold her hand.

Stephen taking a little break and enjoying his ice cream.

Loved the streets and look of San Juan

Angel was sitting on top of this wall unaware that it 

was a long ways down.  He realized it afterwards.   

El Parque de las Palomas (the dove park).

It was cool how these doves sat in these square holes.

We had a great day in San Juan!
