One of the best parts of this long weekend was getting the chance to see family that I don't get to see very often. I hadn't seen my dad in 3 years before this trip, which is WAY too long. We had such a wonderful time catching up and spending time together. Here's a picture of my step-mom Liz (who's just perfect for my dad), Kiel, myself and my dad who Pumpkin is named after. Sadly, he couldn't meet his namesake on this trip, but we're trying to work something out to remedy that.
Me with my parents:
My new sister Lauren, Kiel and Scott and me:
Kiel and me: This picture was taken at a restaurant called the Strip House in our hotel. I thought it was because it's a steak house, you know, like Strip steak? Ummm, no. It's because it has pictures of naked women all over the walls. The pin-up girls from the 1930s-1950s..... Some were more modest than others, but it was still kind of disconcerting to look over my dad's (or mom's) shoulder and see parts of the female anatomy that are usually kept under wraps.... Makes for an interesting story though. We managed to take this picture on New Year's Eve in about the only spot that would still be G-rated for blog publishing. :)
The next day we went on a tour of Old San Juan and the Bacardi Rum Factory. This picture was taken at the top of the old San Cristobal fort in town. It had a great view from the top.
My sister Kristen and me at the top of the fort. It was so awesome to spend time with her and her fiance Brian during this trip.
At the Bacardi factory, just before the tour. Their symbol is a fruit bat. Long story.
Scott and me in Old San Juan:

How fun! I feel tanner just by looking at your pictures!
☺
Your camera captures the blue of the water perfectly!
And I know the feeling of the weirdness of the Strip House. The first time Kiel and I were there, we didn't even notice until halfway through our bottle of wine! What a shock. Even more shocking? My mom went to a luncheon for Komen for the Cure at the Strip House in Texas!!!!
