One of our first places that we went to visit was the beautiful island of Culebra, Puerto Rico. Joe, Colby, Stella, Cameron and Elise spent two full days hanging out at Flamenco Beach, which has been named one of the top 10 beaches in the world by CNN, Discovery Channel, and other travel bloggers.
Stella wasn't a big fan of having her feet in the sand, but enjoyed lounging under the umbrella, waving at the airplanes and birds...."hi bird." "flap, flap, flap" AND
sipping on Mom's virgin Piña Colada!
Culebra is located approximately 17 miles (27 km) east of the Puerto Rican mainland, 12 miles (19 km) west of St. Thomas (US Virgin Islands). In 1939, the U.S. Navy began to use Culebra as a gunnery and bombing practice site as you can see from the tank pictured above. This was done in preparation for the United States' involvement in World War II and continued until 1975. This is the hotel we stayed at during our visit overlooking the bay, where boats are moored. View from our hotel in Culebra, PR.

Everyone enjoying the beautiful beach! Not very crowded either, which was nice.
