Vacation Withdrawals

By Tamara
We are back from vacation and are trying to get back into our routine. Problem is...our area just got 5 inches of snow! The kids have been out of school and the city practically shut down for a day or two. It would be very easy to get really bummed out about now. The high today was 27 degrees...the high in CR this day last week was 85 degrees AND the sun was shining! Big difference! But that's ok...I made my own sunshine! Yellow snow and all! LOL! (Don't worry...it's from a spray bottle filled with mustard and water!)

For the next couple of days, each of us is going to blog about our favorite part of our Costa Rican vacation. One of my favorite things was the zip lining...for numerous reasons. First, it was the day before Lauren broke her arm. So, it was the last day that she was able to enjoy the vacation "normally". Second, we all really enjoyed doing this. It was a lot of fun, and such beautiful scenery too. On this tour, we zip lined in Jaco. We would like to do it in Manuel Antonio and Arenal next time. It would be cool in Manuel Antonio because we heard that you see lots of wildlife on that tour. Arenal would be cool because there is one line that is one mile long and you zip by the volcano.
*Side note: We didn't go to Arenal because they were having unseasonable rainy weather. We were told by numerous other tourist that they couldn't even SEE the volcano..and it was cold...and it was rainy. Enough said!

This was another one of my favorite things because it is where I sat greeting the new year with my hubby while watching the fireworks and bonfires. Awesome memory!

And...of course, the monkeys are one of my favorites!

I will always remember watching this sunset with 2 of my most favorite gals in the world!

Now, this is one of my favorites! There is nothing hotter than seeing a man in the jungle doing his daily devotional! Just sayin'
