Getting Dinner with the Family at Tasca El Pescador in La Placita, San Juan, Puerto Rico

in #travel6 years ago

We had a bunch of fun last night (Sunday, March 25th) walking to dinner at the Farmer's Market area of La Placita in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Before I get to the video, here are some pictures of our walk to the same area during the day on Saturday:









Here's a video of our dinner in that same area last night.

The kids do get a bit grumpy when they are tired and hungry, especially after a full day at the beach. We continue to use every moment to teach them as best we can and even though Devon was a bit difficult last night, we continued our conversation this morning, and he apologized for how he was acting. It's easy to see pictures and videos of people's vacations and think it's all just unicorns and rainbows, but we deal with challenges as well, for sure.

It's sad to think we're heading back home tomorrow after such a great time here. I hope we can come back soon.

This is genuinely good parenting! I wish all parents act like you do with your kids. Raising kids seems to be a great but challenging joy. Amazing moments captured in pictures and the video. I wonder how awesome it will be for the kids to open this link years from now on.

Wishing happiness and health to your family!

Thanks so much. I love being able to put these memories on the blockchain. I hope services like the image host being used and YouTube will be around in the future as well.

Image hosting and YouTube need to be around. Yes. I lost my Facebook account forever and with that my pages and groups too. Counting on these centralized services is a risky step. Good luck though. I hope the memories stick for as long as possible.

Real life unschooled education for your kids in cultural diversity.
I was writing about violence in kids education and I remembered you. :)
Cheers .

This is indeed the better way towards shaping a peaceful future. Peaceful, philosophical parenting and education is the key to reshaping society.

I am glad you got to have some good times with your family!!
It's so great that your kids get to travel the world at such a young age!
Safe travels @lukestokes

Thank you. We're very fortunate and so very thankful we can expose them to different cultures.

I love your little girl !! She is really very very cute <3.

And these wall art are amazing.

Are these potatoes in that picture ? Those are some really big potatoes. I haven't seen such big potatoes in my life in my country.

Seems like you had a really good time. That guy playing guitar at EL SABRoSO sounds spanish awesome :P

Nice post. Keep posting such enjoyable reads and keep chilling out with your family. We love to see you have fun :D

I'm not entirely sure what they were, but far too big for potatoes. Maybe something like a yucca root?

And yeah, I have that spanish song stuck in my head. If the kids didn't need to get home to bed, I would have wanted to stay and listen for sure.

Hehe. You seem to be a music fan !!
Thanks for the reply.

they look like sweet potatoes. "Batatas"

Spending time with your family, that is what brings genuine happiness.
It seems.like you had a great time.
Have fun

Awwwn, adorable.

We are at a restrurant and there's loud music.

The kid just to eat and get it over with😁.

La Placita really seems like a beautiful place by the way; and who's that dude in the back photobombing your selfie?😁

I laughed so much when I saw that. He triumphantly declared photo bomb victory afterwards as well. My 6-yo Aria had my phone and was taking pictures and did that part of the video. She asked me to make that face. :)

The saddest thing about vacation is always the ending and that it passes so fast. However any vacation is for me time to relax and when it’s over I can’t wait for the next one in a next year. That’s what we have, once a year. You have a wonderful family though. The place looks beautiful, all these people outside. It looks very peaceful and friendly environment. I’m not sure if there are on one of the picture, but these are unusually gigantic, if that’s in fact a potato. Just perfect for vacation. BTW: you did an amazing job on your vacation video, I love when you used this background music .

Thank you! I've been playing around with iMovie lately on my phone and adding background music really adds value to the whole memory, I think. I found editing on my phone is almost easier than on my computer and I can export the whole iMovie file to my computer to add details like the background music.

Excillent family photography dear @lukestokes

keep it up dear

Spending time with family is the best thing and going for dinner outings, Man that are really awesome moments, God bless you and your family, may you live a long and happy life for yourself and for your family

Thank you for your kind words. :)

Lovely family. I wonder the type of diet your little daughter is on that she looks this beautiful😂. Honestly, it's good to take time out, go around the world a d enjoy cultural differences and lots of other interests. Steemit makes this sort of tourism ever very achievable.

Congratulations to you @lukestokes and regards to your wonderful family.
