Waterlogged

We just got back from a great vacation to Puerto Rico- our first vacation just the three of us. We were a little nervous about Caiden's first plane ride, but he did great. He was very excited about going on an airplane, but I think the highlight was seeing all the planes the airport. Once we were actually on the plane it was much less exciting.

We had gotten him some new travel toys- toy story figures. That kept him entertained for a while, then we moved on to movie watching. Not a squawk from this kiddo for the 4 hour flight.

The first day we did a lot of exploring. We stayed at a resort type place on the beach, and there was a lot to explore inside and out. And we explored it all! Up those stairs, down that ramp, around the little pool, over to the big pool, out by the ocean, over to the next door park. And there was lots of pigeon chasing too!

This is what pigeon chasing looks like. Just imagine him yelling "PIGEON!!" while running

We tested out the pool... just a little

 We also explored the Old Town neighborhood of San Juan. Caiden did a lot of walking (well, running really). He kept us moving right along!

Finishing our afternoon in Old Town with Ice Cream!

By the second day, Caiden had gotten the lay of the land and was more comfortable hanging out. We spent a lot of time in and around the pool.

Just checking our email!

And by the end of the trip Caiden was really into vacation mode! Breakfast by the pool, days outside, dinner out... and movie time before bed. What a lucky boy. And what lucky parents we are. He was such a great travel baby and we had a lot of fun with him.

One funny thing- we did a lot of back and forth from our room to various activities, which meant multiple elevator trips a day. Caiden loved elevator trips. It was the first thing he asked to do in the morning. He would hit the necessary buttons, and once inside he would assume his elevator position: back of the center tile, in ready to run pose. When the doors opened he would "JUMP!" over the gap at the door and he'd be off and running. Made us laugh every time.

Our return trip was just as easy- despite having woken up at 3am to catch the plane. We are sad vacation is over but it's always great to come home.
