Costa Rica

Mark and I went to Costa Rica last week for an orthodontic meeting.  Neither of us had been there before and we had an amazing time!  Guanacaste is in their dry season right now, but even so it was beautiful.  I would love to go back during the rainy season and see how lush it will get!  We decided to do a few excursions which included riding on ATV trails and going zip lining.  So much fun!!  We can't wait to zip line again!

 Our resort

 The waves there are huge - perfect for surfing!

All of the restaurants that we went to had their tables on the beach - so fun! 

 We got a little muddy on the ATVs

The trip back from the ATV trails 

Holla monkeys were everywhere and they did exactly that - holla as loud as they could! 

I felt like I was at home with my girls!!

This was our favorite thing there - the zip lines.  You start at the top 

of the mountain and zip your way down! 

It is hard to tell, but these lines were way above the tree line.  

We could not even see the ground it was so far away! 

 Mark looked like a pro!

This stretch was one of the longest...if you look way down the distance along the line, that little dot is me!

 One of the workers started showing off and went upside down the entire way!

So of course my crazy husband had to try it too!

To get to Costa Rica we flew over the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef near Belize.  It was huge!

It is the second largest reef in the world (it stretches over 600 miles long).

 Some of the best diving there!  It really looked amazing!

Can't wait to go back!
