Exploring Old San Juan

Editor's note: this should have posted on 2/9/16.

We slept in and Jackson wanted to document how I took up the whole bed and wouldn't get out of bed in paradise. Whatever. Vacation. I did finally get up and we went to breakfast in the hotel. I love their breakfast and slow, leisurely breakfasts on vacation are one of my favorite things.
Hibernating because I'm on vacation
Morning view-- LOVE IT
I love breakfast on vacation!!!
After a big breakfast we decided to go for a serious walk on the beach.
Seaweed issues- ick! 
A long walk with a great view
Seriously gorgeous.
4 miles later we returned to the hotel warm and a little tired. We changed into our suits and alternated between the beach and the pool for a few hours.

We eventually got cleaned up and headed to Old San Juan to explore before the sun went down. It was HOT. I kept joking that we'd picked to walk on the surface of the sun. I loved it, though.
Old Town San Juan!
We found a self-guided tour online and followed it all around so that we did not miss anything.

I'd bore you with the details of the tour, but instead I'll just share photos we took. :)
SO COOL!
Handsome boy!

A little closer
I just want to squeeze his cheeks!

license plates
Ok. Last fort photo. Swear.

I loved this tree

Pretty monument 

We left downtown after walking for another 5 miles and headed for the hotel. We were not feeling adventurous for dinner since we were so tired from a busy day so we ate at the little restaurant on the beach at the hotel. It could not have been a prettier night to sit by the water and enjoy each other. It was another great day!
