Puerto Rico 2010!!

So I am finally getting around to blogging!! We did not get home until last Sunday at midnight, so we basically went to bed, then had to wake up, go to work, rush home to see Lane and then just had to tackle the rest of the week full steam!! Yes I have stacks of laundry and yes I have a million things to get done, but we both have just been spending our evenings with Lane. Who by the way was awesome while we were gone! He spent the week in Waco with my family and had SO much fun, even got to play in more snow!! Many many thanks goes to my nana, aunt and uncle, and cousins, for watching Lane while we were gone!!

So here is our trip! It was AMAZING!!! Puerto Rico was beautiful and our resort was SO nice!! With the exception of one day of rain, the weather was great! Paul and I definitely enjoyed ourselves and had such a good time! Caution: Many pics ahead!!

Here is a little bit of the resort... The main part of the resort sits ontop of a huge cliff! You have to take a gondola type thing down the cliff to get to the bottom area.

Looking up at the resort

Since the resort does sit on a cliff, there is no beach right at the resort. Bummer right!!??? Wrong.....they have their own small private island, which you take a ferry ride to, to the beaches!! And what was neat was that you could see St. Thomas and some other islands in the distance! Here we are on the ferry.

The island

We were the first ones there that morning!

Dinner the 2nd night at a local resturant.

The pool area

Friday night was when the big dinner and awards banquet was held. Apex definitely does not hold back on anything! Here we are pre-dinner...

having some cocktails of course! This is Sarah, Jill, and I.

At dinner

This trip was only for the top performing people in the company so here is Paul being awarded! I took a shot of his name on the screen...

and tried to get him walking across, but it came out a little dark!

Here is the Ft. Worth Crew with their spouses!

The Ft. Worth crew...Mike, Bryan, Paul and Joanna

Our resort also had a casino, which kept us entertained at night!

Saturday Paul and I decided to take an excursion to the El Yunique Rainforest! It was a mile and a half hike. We had a good time and now I can say I've hiked through a rainforest! And appropriately enough, it was raining that day!!

There were huge leafs so I had to take a pic of one!

In front of the waterfall

The view from a really tall tower

We asked some random old guy to take our pic and he made me take my glasses off and Paul his hat off...and it was super sunny, so we may look a little funny here all squinty!!

This was dinner our last night...

This was the view from our balcony...

And this was an attempt by me to take one of us but I didn't even get the water!!

By Sunday we were both ready to get back to see our little guy! I definitely could have come home to get him and went right back! But that's not the way life is. I am so proud of my husband for all his hard work this past year, he was the reason we got to go! Now the pressure is on to make this trip every year!! HA!!
