What a couple of weeks!

Steve, Angel, Amy and Kennedy at Ola Lola's on Steve and Angel's last night in PR

Yesterday morning we said good-by to our son Steve, granddaughter Angel and our new friend Theresa. They drove off into the sunrise, headed for San Juan and their flight back to Washington, D.C. There just aren't words for how wonderful it was to spend time with them. We got to catch on Steve's live and got to know our beautiful Angel.

They in turn got to sample live in paradise. True the weather pretty much sucked (at least by our standards - grey, and cloudy with afternoon rain) for much of their visit but Saturday and Sunday the weather gods put on their best sunshine and blue skies.

We took them to Viejo San Juan for a day to visit Castillo San Cristobal and El Morro. That was a great time. Steve and I spent a long time checking out the architecture and construction of the forts. Angel had a great time running up and down LOTS of stairs. And we showed them the treehouse in Parque Colon in Aquadilla (Steve built a pretty amazing treehouse in our front yard when he was a kid.) and then we went snorkeling into Blue Hole.



They did a lot of exploring on their own as well. They made a brief excursion into the Guajataca rain forest, a place we've only been to the edge of (we're going back SOON!).

Mostly we just enjoyed hanging out with them on the beach and at Ola Lola's when we were open.


We saved a lot to see and do for next time. And there WILL be a next time. We can't wait.
