Mom & Angela's Visit

At souls with my friends
Thanksgiving in Puerto Rico. It was so nice to have my mom and sister here on Thanksgiving. For Thanksgiving we ate dinner at the Mudd's house. It was so nice being able to eat dinner outside. The weather has been so nice lately. I love it!

This picture was taken in front of the governor's house in Old San Juan. We were taking pictures of the house and the police officer said, "Take a picture with me." We thought it would be funny if my mom did.

Crystal clear water in Culebra
Me, mom, and Angela in Culebra. Culebra is an island located off of Puerto Rico. There is a ferry boat that comes to Fajardo and it is about a 1 hour 15 min. boat ride to the island. The whole trip was awesome. There is a campground on Flamenco Beach that we stayed at overnight. We got there around 11 and set out tent up. Then we spent the rest of the day on the beach. The water was so beautiful. The sand was white and the water was so blue and clear. We also took a trail to a beach on the other side of the island to snorkel. I could not believe what I saw when I put my head under water. It was so awesome. There were so many colorful plants, coral, and fish under the water. It was so cool. It was also a little scary to think what else could be under the coral.
At night we went to a fun outdoor restuarant called Mamacitas. The next day we swam and laid on the beach all day again. Then got the ferry back at 4. It was so amazing in Culebra. It was the most beautiful beach I have ever seen.

Our campground was right behind the trees. It was awesome. At night we laid on the beach and looked at the stars. The stars were so bright and there were so many.

View from the top of a cave in Isabella. We took a break from horseback riding and hiked up here because the guide said it was an awesome view. It really was too.

Horses waiting for us to get on. They were all really good horses. I would love to have one of my own one day. We went horseback riding through Tropical Trail Rides. It was really awesome. I have always wanted to go horseback riding on the beach, so I had to take my mom and sis when they came here. It was a two hour tour and worth every penny. The only complaint I have is the soreness I felt the next day. I feel like I worked out every part of my body, especially my butt.
