Puerto Rico Farewell!

On our last night the company threw a big party/dinner on the island. We all loaded up on boats for one last trip to the beach. The view of the island from the boat.
This was made of sand! Pretty neat huh?
Hubby and I were in line to have our picture drawn. The theme was pirates - can you tell? We took home the pirate hat and sword for JB. Pirate Daddy found a little treasure to give HC - a pink jeweled ring and some gold coins!! We were ready for any battle that ensued to steal our treasure!
Here is the drawing of us. I was expecting more of a caricature but... it was pretty good. I can see the resemblance in Steve but I don't see it exactly in me. I guess that is the way life goes - I also do not think I sound the way I seem on tape either! :) We said our farewells to Palomino Island and headed back to the resort. We walked the grounds and tried to see anything we may have missed thus far. And finally it was off to bed and early rise to the airport, with prayers that we would get through security once more without a bag check. I was dreading that happening - the bag check! No real reason - I just thought it was bound to happen these days! Anyway... I am already looking forward to my trip next year! Fun times!

The sand sculpture was pretty awesome!

Your trip just looked so amazing! I can tell it did you two so much good - just in how you write about it! I'm glad you two were able to get some time away together - it does you both good and it is good for the kids too! Makes you feel more refreshed to take on more with the kids, doesn't it? And that lasts for what? A day? LOL
