flight home.


Truman had a chocolate muffin for breakfast - yummy.

bye, bye vacation.

Is he really this happy to be flying again?  Probably so since he slept on every flight the entire time!


I finally read the third "Twilight" book on this trip...I am not really a fan of the series - definitely more of a Jacob fan then an Edward fan! 
{I have started the last book...I have to finish}



PS- to see all the post about our vacation you have to click on "older posts" at the bottom of the page...I could not get them to all show up on one page.

* sorry for the over load of pictures - I know there are a lot and that is kind of annoying...but since this blog is quickly turning into my journal writing and scrapbooking there were so many things from this trip that I wanted to remember.

Puerto Rico.

The cruise started and ended in Puerto Rico.  We spent the day with a tour guide getting a tour of Puerto Rico - as you can see it was raining.

If I lived in a foreign country {technically Puerto Rico is not a foreign country since it is part of the US common wealth} I would love all the fresh fruits at the market - not to mention all the fruits and vegetables that we don't get here in the US {main land}.


I highly recommend the $30 umbrella stroller for traveling with a toddler {or baby}.  Truman loved it - we never left our room without it - even if we were just going to dinner. It's small, light weight and cheep so if something happens to it it's no big deal.
Thanks to my dad and his awesome trip planning we went on a tour of the botanical gardens in San Juan {seriously, my dad should be a travel agent in his next life - if you have ever been on a trip with him, you will understand.  Every minute of every day is planned}.  


ginger...if I remember correctly.

Gregg trying to fit Truman into his rain poncho.

"I'm singing in the rain...just singing in the rain..."
I don't think Truman realized it was raining - he was so happy and goofy.

the beach.



After a guided tour of San Juan we said good bye to my parents who headed to a resort in southern PR {for a few extra days} the "kids" all headed to their hotel... after a quick nap we headed out to the beach {which was conveniently across the street}.  
Let's see if Truman like the beach better then his cousins Stella and Presley?!?




considering I took 7 swim suits...I some how managed to be wearing the same one in every picture.


{this picture was taken at the hotel pool}
Our last night in Puerto Rico we headed out for a good authentic Puertorican dinner...until Gregg spotted Ruth's Chris!

One last night-time walk on the beach.

This is after Uncle Nate changed Truman diaper...no need to encourage the behavior..if you know what I mean {or have a baby boy}.

Good Night.
Sorry Truman, you got moved to the floor once you fell asleep {he rolled under the bed during the night}.

St. Croix, US Virgin Islands.

Our second to last stop was St. Croix of the U.S. Virgin Islands.  It defently felt the most like a US city/state.  There was actually security.  


The patch - to help for motion sickness.

Mashed potatoes for dinner.

Nate, McKay, Truman and Gregg walking down the Promenade of the ship - pretty amazing for a ship!
The pool decks.
