Move over Mexico, make room for … Costa Rica. I might be a bit dramatic, but not. We love this place.

Things to remember: Ziplines, horse back riding, hot springs, a lesson on sugar cane and coffee, the giant bull Caramelo, riding horses, sunsets, breakfast, hot sand, sand paper massages on the beach, playing skip ball, swimming to the dock, karaoke in the car, grocery store run with lots of ice cream, backseat shenanigans, Charlotte yanking Johnny’s ear, speed bumps, movie nights with ice cream, so many crabs, fish spa, bone marrow, the boat, creepy mangroves, Charlotte getting hit with bird poop, SeaDoos, tubing behind the boat, white water tubing, jumping off the bridge, hiking to the big waterfall, mangoes cut perfectly, Charlotte staying up late for Taylor Swift’s new album, Johnny finding stray cats and frogs at dinner, playing toss in the pool, Johnny losing 7 balls on the last morning with wild pitches, long lines at the Costa Rica airport, our family foursome in Costa Rican bliss.
