I believe this is the first trip we went on using credit card points. Costa Rica was originally on our list, but we did not have enough points. So Puerto Rico it is! I’m so glad we came. Puerto Rico is kind of like America’s basement; as in you don’t often think of it and […]
Chris went there for work. He always teases me for not coming to the hot places in summer and the cold places in winter. So I met his challenge this time. The two things we saw on this trip were the beer can house and Smither Park. I love both of these places.
Chris had another job in Columbus, so I flew out to Ohio and we drove to Cleveland to see the cousins. Here are the pictures I took.
