Sleeping with a baby between you doesn’t make for the best night’s sleep. We slept in to about 6:30 local time, and headed off to breakfast. I think breakfast is the best meal of the day around here—they have a slew of foods that Aiden can eat, and that helps occupy him while we attempt to have some form of normalcy.
The “nice” restaurants on the complex all require reservations. And reservations happen at 8:45 local time. By the time we were finished with breakfast, we decided to give the reservations a try, but quickly gave up since we had another 45 minutes to wait.
It was a real nice day, so we went to the pool to swim. The pool water was a bit colder than we would have liked, and it took Aiden a while to get used to it. Still, once he got over the initial shock, he had a lot of fun. He has a little floaty boat that he can sit in, and mommy and daddy pushed him around the whole pool in it. The sun was getting hot, so Aiden and daddy headed back to the room for a nap while Tanya tanned by the pool.
After a shower to clean the pool water off, Aiden zonked out almost immediately, laying on daddy’s stomach. Daddy was pinned underneath him for the hour and a half he slept, while mommy went exploring with the camera.
After everyone was awake, we went to the stores near our hotel. Aiden found some plants to play with while Mommy bought a dress. The sun was pretty hot, and Aiden actually wore his baseball hat to keep the sun out of his face. We stopped by yet another Riu hotel, the Riu Tequila, and Aiden ate some Gerber’s there.
We ended up going to bed rather early, since everyone was tired.
