Brad, Angie take kids to Galapagos Islands after proposal

Newly engaged couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are in Ecuador with their six children.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have taken their brood to the Galapagos Islands to celebrate their engagement, reports say.

The website X17.com reports that the Jolie-Pitt clan arrived in Guayaquil, Ecuador, on a private jet yesterday en route to the famous islands where Charles Darwin hatched his theory of evolution. After leaving Baltra airport, the family was spotted getting on a tour bus and headed toward a ferry to the islands. The area is protected by the United Nations as a World Heritage site, and is known for its wildlife including large sea turtles and lizards.

The family could be headed on the educational vacation as a way of celebrating Jolie and Pitt's upcoming nuptials. After seven years together, the couple confirmed last week that they plan to wed. The pair made the announcement after Jolie was photographed wearing a blingy engagement ring. Pitt worked with jeweler Robert Procop for a year to create the ring.

"It is a promise for the future and their kids are very happy," Pitt's manager told People.

While Pitt's manager said that no date has been set, reports say that the couple plans to marry this summer at their sprawling estate in France.

Pitt hinted earlier this year that he and Jolie were inching toward marriage.

"We’d actually like to," he told The Hollywood Reporter in January. "It seems to mean more and more to our kids. We made this declaration some time ago that we weren’t going to do it till everyone can. But I don’t think we’ll be able to hold out. It means so much to my kids, and they ask a lot. And it means something to me, too, to make that kind of commitment."
