For Thanksgiving, Dave and I made a quick trip to Puerto Rico. We arrived late Wednesday night. Thursday, we spent most of the day at our hotel. We layed at the beach and played in the pool.
Even though we were on vacation for Thanksgiving I still wanted a traditional dinner. We went to Ruth's Chris Steakhouse, because we knew they were serving a turkey dinner. I had turkey, dressing, and sweet potato casserole, but Dave couldn't pass up their rib eye steak. Everything was delicious and we even had pecan pie! After dinner we were happy to watch the second half of the Cowboy's game and the entire Aggie game back in our hotel room.
Friday night we went on a night kayaking tour. We kayaked 30 minutes through a spooky canal of mangrove trees and arrived at a lagoon. In this lagoon are dinoflagellates - bioluminescent plankton. When you swirl your hand in the water these organisms glow! We weren't able to take pictures, but this was a once in a lifetime experience. If you travel to Puerto Rico you must check them out! We kayaked 30 minutes in the dark back to the shore.
Saturday, we went on a catamaran ride. We first stopped at an uninhabited island where I played in the water and Dave snorkeled. The second stop was in the ocean. Once again I played in the water and Dave snorkeled. Lunch, snacks, and drinks were included in the tour. Riding on the boat was very relaxing and beautiful!
Saturday night, we ate at a delicious seafood buffet at our hotel.
