Weekend Exploration in your own backyard!
So often we hear people saying that “Until guests come to town, they never experience or take advantage of their own city in which they live. It is so easy to give into routine and shuffle from school/work/kids sports or regular trips to the store and hobbies, that we often neglect the benefits and events in our own radius.

Beautiful San Juan Puerto Rico
There are plenty of options when visiting San Juan, Puerto Rico. We happened to take a family cruise vacation that left out of the port there a few years back. Our time in San Juan was phenomenal.
