We had a red-eye flight the Sunday before Christmas, so we took some time that afternoon to do a quasai-Christmas Eve. We opened a few presents, watched A Muppet Christmas Carol (and Liza painted my toenails), and had a lovely Bethlehem Dinner.
Our much-anticipated trip to Puerto Rico began when we drove to the airport at about 9:30 that night. We didn't sleep much on the first flight, but at least everyone rested. (It helped that I told the boys they weren't allowed to watch movies on that flight.)
We had a short layover, then before we knew it we were in perpetually warm, often sunny Puerto Rico. Hooray! We were introduced to the challenges of driving there quickly when it took 3 attempts to get to Pinones, the town where we were told we should eat lunch - thanks to road signs and GPS not matching up, and several turn-offs happening at the same time. But we finally got there and honestly we were more excited to see the beach behind the restaurant than the food itself.

The yellow rice + beans with Luke's imitation crab is
Puerto Rican rice pudding. That was a surprise. |
