Puerto Rico!

Here are a few photos from Kendra and my trip to Puerto Rico. It was a quick 5 day vacation for us, as we both had to get back to the grind. It sucks that it took me an entire month after we got home to post these...

Kendra at one of the waterfalls in El Yunque. I thought it was kind of magical how the light reflected off the lens and sort of created a bubble of light around her.


We also ventured to Cueva Ventana, which is a sick cave that took us awhile to muster up the balls to go into. It wasn't a guided tour and we had to go back and buy flashlights before we went in, but the view was spectacular. Totally worth it.


Here I am enjoying the wonderful bath water of the ocean in Carolina, right by our hotel.


Our own little cabana.


I love mojitos and the perfect weather we experienced.




In addition to the beach, El Yunque National Park, a few caves and caverns, and massive amounts of drinking, we also ziplined through the jungle. It was AMAZING. None of those photos really turned out well, but I was in love. I'm also scared of heights, so it was huge for me to do that. I am glad I did.

highlights from easter weekend!

I forgot my camera most of the weekend, but here are some of my favorites, from the ones I did take..
Here we are in Weehawken, NJ. This is about 1 block from where my parents live.



My super (un)patriotic boyfriend...


He kept saying "USA! NUMBER 1!!!"


Backyard beverages, with the dogs.


His favorite son, Benjamin Franklin.


Strawberry jalepeño mojitos!




Peter and I are heading to Ecuador this August and are so excited! We went to Union City to check out this Ecuadorian grocery store and picked up some snacks.


And here I am whining that he drank all of my juice box. I'm such a brat.


I think he's so handsome.... <3


Our favorite Indian restaurant in all of the world!
(We haven't been to India yet, so this is just so far.)
It's called Sapthagiri and all vegetarian. The house special is Chole Bhatura. It's amazing! I recommend it to anyone that goes there.

Our appetizer spread:


Pete illustrating how his chole bhatura is larger than his head.


We also did some family stuff, but mostly sleeping, walking, eating, and movies. I want that weekend right now, so badly!

I do have a sweet little trip with him planned soon... just a quick, close by getaway. I'll update about it after it happens, so I don't ruin the surprise!
