An Update...Puerto Rico

So I went to Puerto Rico for Valentine's Day, isn't my boyfriend great?! Wrong. I mean he is great and all but I went with my family, well my Mom, Bob, and brother Vaughn. Can I say it was absolutely GORGEOUS! My Mom called me on Wednesday while Lane and I were out to lunch and asked me last minute to go, I was so excited I told her yes and she told me we were leaving Saturday and gave me all the dets. and I was totally stoked. Once I got off the phone I was telling Lane, "Yeah, yeah, I'm so excited it's going to be so much fun and we are leaving Saturday......which is Valentine's Day." Oopsy! He gave me his pouty face trying to make me feel bad for leaving him on V-Day (it's the 2nd year in a row mind you) but was really excited for me to go because when he went he loved it. So here are a few pictures from that...enjoy and be jealous! I was in the sun while most of you got stuck in a snow storm. Bahahahaha!

The rainforest, no make-up cute I know

You might not be able to tell but I'm pinching the man's bum....


Ok, so after 3 days in Puerto Rico it was time to come home. While we were there Kyra, my little sister went snowboarding for the first time and had a wee bit of an accident, and my wee bit she got a pretty bad concussion. More of why this makes sense in a minute.....Anywho since we fly for free we have to fly on standby. We got to the airport with plenty of time but the flight was pretty much full, it didn't look like we would be able to fly out . However, the flight opened up and there were 2 seats available, frantically my Mom had to make a quick decision, what do I do what do I do..... "I'll stay, yeah Mom I'll stay with Vaughn for another day and just get on the next flight out." Here's why I volunteered, #1: My Mom was so worried about Kyra, she had been puking for like a day and a half and she had blurred vision and my mom wanted to get home to her that was most important but reason numero 2: Our 8 hr. layover was in New York so yeah I'll spend the day in New York. Here are a few pictures from mine and Vaughn's New York adventure.

Side note: For those of you who don't know Vaughn is my older brother with Downs Syndrome who doesn't like to walk around much, that explains the 9 month pregnant belly, and is super funny but gets grumpy when there isn't much for him to do....

Disclaimer: In the pictures beware I have on no make-up and had been traveling hence the haggard homeless look

I said scurred, he did pissed same thing



We arrived in New York at midnight and didn't want to get a hotel room so we slept in the JetBlue terminal. Fun I know we were vagabonds for a night. NBD. This is how we slept, p.s. he can sleep anywhere seriously....
Times Square
Ripley's Believe it or Not (there is a striking resemblance I know)
This is what he did most of time while I shopped, he's happy you just can't tell :)
So there you have it folks Puerto Rico, and the always exciting Adventures of Jade and Vaughn.
