SINCLAIRS RULE: Puerto Rico

Andrew had to go to Puerto Rico for a work conference so Owen and I decided that we should go and keep him company. Andrew went ahead to do some actual work. Owen and I met him there later in the week to stay for a couple of days. The planning for this trip was incredible. A few days away with a baby and I felt like I packed half of our kitchen. Bottle warmer? check. Jarred baby food? check. Dishes and utensils? check.

Thanks to some empty seats on the flights down and some Gravol on the way back, Owen was a very good flyer. That being said, I don't think that Andrew and I will be rushing to put Owen back on plane for just any old trip. Also, I vowed that unless its a big emergency, there is absolutely no way that I'd travel on a plane ALONE with Owen, especially with connections. Keeping Owen entertained on the airplane, making tight connections and hauling the luggage kept me sweating the whole way.

Owen excited to get on the airplane.

But all the sweat was worth it for the change of scenery. Palm trees, sand, the ocean - it was great. The weather was a little unstable at times, but for the most part it was fabulous. Old San Juan was really nice but I think that Owen's favorite part of the trip was eating his lunch on the beach everyday. Owen's other most favorite thing about Puerto Rico was....restaurant wooden highchairs. He'd never been in one previous to this trip and he freakin' loved it.

See how much he loves being in these high chairs? It was like this every time!

While we were there a political convention was taking place at our hotel. It was loud and crazy. The Puerto Rican people that we encountered were all very friendly, and this rally was a great excuse for partying. There was lots of music and people. Luckily Owen slept through the noise...even when Andrew and I would get awakened at 3am by some revellers yelling off their balcony.
