That's a lot of cannonballs - where's my bottle?

Afternoon siesta in Mom's arms - here's the beginnings of my new awesome tan lines.

Just about done with this sight-seeing stuff - where's my bottle?

Ben, Mom, Grandma, and Nao (MN Volleyball's Director of Operations) went to Old San Juan today to do a little sight-seeing. Ben was a real trouper - it was very windy and sunny and he just went with the flow. We started out at Castillo San Felipe del Morro (a historic fort in Old San Juan) where we toured the entire fort. There was a lot of walking and once Ben had his bottle he fell asleep in his carrier. We really made sure Ben had lots of sunscreen on but Mom forgot to put some on herself and ended up with some interesting tan lines from the carrier. We did a little souvenier shopping before we headed home. We ate dinner at one of our players family restaurants in San Juan this evening. The Puerto Rican cuisine was excellent. Ben hit a wall right after dinner and we made our way home to put the little guy to bed. He had some cuddle time with Grandma this morning so Mom could sleep in a bit. Grandma wasn't complaining about that at all!
Ben wanted me to relay a message to Grandpa in Oregon: I miss you so much and can't wait to see you. You won't believe how much I've grown! I'm sending hugs and kisses home for you with Grandma and hope that you will come to MN soon!!
