Costa Rica

We just returned from a long weekend in Costa Rica. It was heaven and a great 'baby'moon!

We slept in everyday, hung out by the pool and at the beach, went snorkeling, G golfed (I rode in the cart with him) and we really just relaxed.

The hotel was amazing and they spoil you every chance they get from the cold towels at the pool to the little stuffed turtle they gave us for the baby. G found a new vacation drink...the mojito. And I learned my new favorite phrase...mucho gusto...which the staff said anytime we said thank you or gracias. I also like to say it every 5 minutes now and use it to mean anything I want.

And it was also like a safari with all the animals we saw. Lizards, frogs and monkeys were everywhere.

I have never seen so many monkeys in the wild just jumping from tree to tree and making lots of noise. One night at dinner we sat and watched a frog hunt for moths and we were fascinated as if it was our very own Planet Earth. It was definitely something we don't see in Chicago. Can you see the monkey?

It will probably be our last vacation for just the two of us for a while and we enjoyed every minute of it!
