birthday in paradise

finally here are some pictures from my puerto rico birthday vacation. i wish i had pictures of my absolute favorite thing we did in puerto rico which was the bioluminescent lagoon. they told us that it was pointless to take pictures because it wouldn't show up so i didn't. but it was the most beautiful thing i've ever experienced. we went kayaking to a lagoon and whenever you touched the water it glittered. when fish swam by they shimmered and lit up. i can't even describe how amazing it was. definite must do if you're ever in puerto rico. as you can see from my pictures the rest of my vacation was pretty great as well.

la isla del encanto

for my birthday i am going to puerto rico!!!!

i am so ridiculously excited. although i have been plenty of times this time is going to be way different. i've never really have gotten the touristy experience. i remember as a kid i would dread going to puerto rico because we always stayed with my grandparents and they lived out in the boonies on top of a mountain. we always went in the summer and they didn't have a/c and it was miserably hot and crazy mosquitoes! and of course my grandpa had a chicken house in the back with roosters that would wake us up waayyy too early every morning. but now how i cherish those memories and wish i appreciated them more at my young age.

but like i said this time is going to be different because i will be staying at the ritz (which definitely has a/c) with my dear friend kelly. i plan to enjoy the beautiful beaches, experience the night life and explore the island of enchantment.

this vacation is definitely much needed and 25 is a milestone so i want to get far away from the stress of my life and really enjoy my birthday. i have a feeling this one is going down in the books.
