Puerto Rico - 1

For our 10th wedding anniversary, we took a vacation to Puerto Rico! Luckily, Mike's mom (Karen) volunteers once a year to come and watch our girls so that we can get away by ourselves.

This is the view from our hotel balcony. We arrived on Tuesday (9/28) and spent the afternoon checking in and driving around the local area to see what we could see. We ate dinner at Richie's and shared a chicken mofongo with garlic sauce. We enjoyed it a lot. Since plantains look kind of like bananas, I really expected it to taste a little bit like a banana, but it actually tasted more like a potato to me.
On Wednesday, we hiked all the way to the top of the mountain in El Yunque National Forest. We hiked for about 3 hours. Here I am being silly on the top of one of the peaks.
That is the Eastern coast of Puerto Rico in the background.
