Travel Diaries | Puerto Rico

Back in January I went to visit two of my best friends in Puerto Rico for a week. They live on opposite sides of the island, so we spent half of the week in San Juan, then had a fun road trip over to Mayaguez. It was such a relaxing week full of adventures and fun on the beach.

I always love the views from planes!

I was greeted with the cutest signs ever at the airport.


The views were absolutely stunning!



My first experience of Puerto Rican food! Mofongo!

Of course had to get some Pina Colada's

We swam in a waterfall! One of the coolest experiences I have ever had.


We also went zip-lining which was on my bucket list of adventures!



I love the ocean!<3


Yummy treats!




Lovely brunch!<3

Play time on the beach!

My friends got me hooked on beer! I never thought I would see the day! Wine girl at heart!

Corn sticks are my new favorite thing!

Spending time with my loves!

Last night in PR at the SanSe festival!



I had such an amazing time visiting my girls in their hometowns! Such an amazing experience!

Day 39: We've recently tried a new chinese restaurant that delivers right to our door!

Day 40: It was time for a run to Trader Joe's to pick up some of our favorite things.

Day 41: Shelby has recently discovered some vegetables she likes to eat. Who would have ever thought this day would come!?

Photo A Day | Week 5

Week five was filled with lots of food- some healthy, some not so healthy, some football, and you guessed it- more snow. 

 Day 29: We've been making a lot of smoothies lately. These are some of our favorite ingredients. 
 Day 30: Got our groceries delivered! Love Fresh Direct!
Day 31: Pixie still isn't feeling well :(
 Day 32: Super Bowl weekend! Since the game was being played in the area Times Square was filled with various Super Bowl themed activites. Shelby met up with some friends to explore; Ashley had zero desire to mingle with the masses in Times Square :)
 Day 33: Super Bowl Sunday or as we prefer to refer to it Puppy Bowl Day! Ashley made chili and we tried these fajita flavored scoops...very yummy!
 Day 34: Woke up to a surprise blizzard. We took a little snow walk in the evening around our neighborhood. 
Day 35: We love surprise care packages from our Dad! This time was some yummy El Fenix goodies and some very delicious cupcakes! Thanks Dad, we love you!

Until Next Time
XOXO

The One With The Snow

We got another surprise blizzard in NYC today. When I went to bed last night there was a 30% chance of snow for a few hours overnight. No big deal. However, when I woke up it was blizzarding. I immediately checked the weather and it said we were supposed to get 10 inches of snow! I would love to know how we went from a 30% chance to a blizzard in a matter of hours but that's besides the point. 

Today was a big day...cookie dough oreos were released!!

Shelby and I walked all over the Upper East Side tonight in search of them but sadly they were no where to be found. The stupid blizzard must have delayed the deliveries or something. The snow was still in the pretty stage. By tomorrow it will be a brown mushy mess. So, we snapped a few photos if you want to see. 













Thanks for walking in the snow with us!!

Until Next Time
XOXO
