And We're Back!

Hello Everyone! We're back with minimal (ok, that's not true) burns and peeling skin. We're well-rested, well-traveled, and well-fattened-up.

After spending a week touring the country (and beach) side we've decided that we like the Jungle best of all and can't wait to get back! It was incredible!! We saw a sloth, toucans, howler monkeys, iguanas, flowing lava, guitar sharks, octopus, sting rays, eels, and much much more. Needless to say, it was probably one of my favorite vacations of all time (although it's a sad day when you realize your parents have truly spoiled you so badly by living in Laguna Beach that the shores of Playa Conchal (touted as the most beautiful beach in Costa Rica) doesn't hold up to your expectations and that your diving tours of Fiji and Hawaii have left you a bit of a dive snob. Such a hard life!)

So we decided that when we do go back we'll focus mainly on the Jungle portion--there was so much we didn't get to see and so much we are dying to see again! Our hotel in Playa Conchal was an all-inclusive, we've never gone to one of those before and while things could have been better service and food-wise, the rooms were beautiful, the weather was incredible, and there was free food everywhere we turned. Lex was in room-service heaven! (Ok, we were too) Oh yeah, and Patrick is now an officially certified scuba diver! He really is a part of our family :)

And now, what you've all been waiting for! Pictures!
