Stones in Puerto Rico

My grandparents celebrated their 60th Anniversary this month, and in honor of that occasion, we all went on a 7 night Caribbean Cruise!  All of their living children were there, and as many grandchildren as could come.  From my family 7 of the 9 children were able to come, so we missed Jacob and Julianne!  But the rest of us had a really good time and made some extra memories just for them.

The cruise left from San Juan, so most of us flew in a day early to do some things in Puerto Rico before leaving on the cruise.  This first post is pictures from Puerto Rico.  Friday, we hiked to a waterfall in El Yunque rainforest, did the awesome Biobay Kayaking trip at night, and the next day explored El Morro and a little bit of Old San Juan.

Beautiful cemetery in Old San Juan, overlooking the ocean.  

Wouldn't mind my bones chillin' out here for awhile.

New boy band:  No Direction

We found a kite that had crashed on top of El Morro, and Brandon got it to fly.

Even though it was time to head to the dock to board the ship, Nathan, Jen and I went on a speedy quest to find the beautiful blue brick streets with the bright colored houses.  Totally worth it.

Farewell, San Juan!
