We were excited for Costa Rica when we booked it back in November, but when we were dealing with never ending construction, we were THRILLED to get out of town. To say we loved Costa Rica is realy an incredible understatement...
First night there. We were super adventurous and booked probably the most American hotel we could have possibly found. Baby steps....
Ryan wasn't too sure about what lay in store for driving in CR, but in true Ryan fashion, he did well.
We were so happy to quickly find a beach front bar when we arrived in Samara, the town we stayed in for the week.
I'd like to say that this shot was a momentary picture of Morgan being silly. Welp, no. She was wore this mask this entire week because well, I guess why not.
The kids were in puppy heaven!
Welcome to the gun show.
So many virgin daquiris for the kids, so many Coco Locos for mom.
I'm not a selfie person, but I had to document my happy place. I could literally live every second of my life on a beach.
It wouldn't be a trip to Costa Rica without a trip to a waterfall. Shockingly, this little beaut was right outside of the city we flew out of and was a random stop on our last day in town.
Another highlight of the trip was ziplining.... And this guy, "Scar" made the kids' day. He is their version of a raccoon and lives for the ziplining company to come and give him cookies.
The kids were much braver than mom and I was truly questioning my sanity at times.
I really couldn't love this big lug any more.
Best date spot ever....
While ziplining, we had some visitors. Who literally tried to poop on us, thanks guys.
And this guy was our unexpected house guest. He lived on the roof of our rented home and we could hear him scratching around. But hearing that wasn't nearly as terrifying as hearing debris falling onto the metal roof in the middle of the night. We were certain someone was trying to break in or running their car into our house. PTSD anyone?
The walk from the beach to the house.
Our lovely home for the week.
While mom and dad are date-knighting on the beach, the kids were busy being artistic.
Costa Rica, you were just the magic we needed. You reminded us that we love adventure and how much fun our family has together. We'll see you again!
