6 Days Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico has a special place in my heart, I traveled here as a child because my family loved it.  My Dad played professional baseball and had fond memories of having spring training here.

We grew to love Puerto Rico as a family and I was just recently able to revisit and fell back in love!
