The Weekend
Aug. 27th, 2007 03:07 pmOur friends who were visiting last weekend have been staying at the Caribe Hilton since Thursday. (This was always part of the plan, not because they didn't like us.) The Hilton is the best hotel in San Juan, in my opinion, and has the really beautiful grounds/pool/beach area that I have always wanted to hang out in but they restrict it to guests. Since our friends were guests, guess where we spent most of the weekend? Our friends even had an extra bed and we napped in it on both Saturday and Sunday. (They actually wanted u s to spend the night and I had to explain, twice, that Ellie goes to bed at 8:30, meaning the room needs to be quiet, and more importantly, she wakes up at 6, pretty much no matter what.)
Anyway, except for the fact that I couldn't really drink a pina colada (I had a virgin and it sucked), it was a great time. The pools are all right next to the ocean and the first day we were in the shade and the second day it was cloudy enough to not be hot. Ellie had a great time swimming with me, with Joe, and by herself (while supervised!). They even have a few 18 inch pools which were a lot of fun for her. She likes to swim with those arm floaties, but she isn't very efficient in her movements. When she can walk and splash, it's way more fun.
The other awesome part of the weekend was napping in their room. They were either watching TV or out and about, but Ellie was exhausted both days. She curled up with me the first day and with Joe and me the second day and napped for about two hours each day. I love sleeping under a down comforter and having a warm sleeping baby next to you is awesome (until you have to pee). Anyway, it was a good weekend, and I managed to get 90% of the laundry done, so I feel like I was both relaxed, and I got all the chores done.
