Beaches in Puerto Rico

Now here we are in Puerto Rico and it was gorgeous – we LOVED it and the water is really pretty, but the sand, it just isn’t the same as our sand, BUT that is not why we went to Puerto Rico, they have rainforests and glowing bays and great food and quaint streets, THAT is why we went to Puerto Rico and I highly reccomend a visit if you have not been.  Our beaches are still prettier, that’s all…
I am a beach snob  – I’m good with that…

This was a picture of my girls last summer – note the sugar white sand and the clear emerald green water – It is amazing and honestly no beaches compare, it isn’t even fair to try…
Peurto Rico has rainforests though and those cute little talking frogs…

Spring Break in Puerto Rico

Rooftop Pool in Peurto Rico
We have arrived!!! The top of our hotel is like an all inclusive retreat with grassy areas, a pool, cabana boys and cabanas 🙂 and of course cocktails are served on the lanai…

Highly reccomend a trip to the Bioluminescent Bay at night – the girls had so much fun!!!
realjoy Bill and Abbi on the way to the bay at night
It is a great way to see the city at night, quiet and dark and the less full the moon, the better the sparklies show up better.
realjoy Bio Bay sparklies
So this probably is not a great picture, but they looked like underwater sparklers when you move the water around and it was magical especially if you are 8
realjoy Subway at the rainforest
Leave it to the American’s 🙂 eating subway up in the rainforest!
realjoy The mystery fruit
Do you know what this is? Downside of no tourist guide – mystery fruit is still a mystery…

realjoy Bill and Mr Bean
I know it is wrong, but look at how much this guy looks like “Mr. Bean”
RealJoy Jessica and Mr Bean
Jessica – the people working at the church did not think this was nearly as funny as we did…
realjoy Beware of dog
I hope this was meant to be funny because he was licking the windo trying to get to us.

This was not on the top of my list of places to visit and I am so so glad we did, it was so beautiful and pretty easy to get around.  Most importantly the kids loved it, it was just too short – we needed about 5 more days to take it all in, but loved it and loved the food!!!
