Costa Rica trip!

Matt and I went to Costa Rica with Luke and Amy Larsen April 28th-May 7th. It was SO much fun! We had a blast and had a hard time coming home to real life, work, and school. I posted a slideshow of all 200 pictures, so look through them if you have time, its a beautiful place! We did a lot of surfing while we were there, a hike up to some waterfalls, lots of laying out, eating good food, (the best fresh fruit ever!) playing games, and just enjoying each other's company. We stayed in two different places, the first was called Playa (beach in spanish) Hermosa. We were there for 3 days, then went to Playa Samara where we stayed the rest of the trip. That's where the tree houses were that you'll see in the pictures, they were AWESOME! The whole city was just one main street, so we'd wake up in the morning and walk to the bakery for fresh warm bread, then walk to the fruit stand and get a fresh pineapple cut up, and some avocados for the bread, then hit the beach by about 7:30 or 8! We had these great hammack's underneath our treehouse that I loved to just lay in and read, take a nap, or just look at the beach. This was such an amazing vacation, we're so lucky to be able to travel around a little before the babies come and see some of the beautiful places we did!

Your pictures are so great. It looks like you had such a good time. Maybe we should take JAMM to Costa Rica next year, or at least a few years down the line anyway.

Your trip looks super sweet.. I'm so glad you found me, I have been missing you. Right now we are living in California in the Sherman Oaks area, but we will be back for the Fall so we should get together.
