This is one of the most beautiful beaches in Costa Rica, its called Manuel Antonio, we stayed there this past weekend and it was beautiful. It was a different experience for me considering I am not used to iguanas and other creatures running around the beach. But I wish you all could have been there with me.


"Pura Vida" is the Costa Rican saying for "hakuna matata", its pretty common and just plain fun to say!!!!

We all had to cross the little cove to get to the other side of the beach and we looked like a herd of cattle, it was pretty amusing.

I was soo excited I couldn't even open my eyes....or maybe I just blinked :)

I was really tempted to give the monos the banana I took from the hotel, but I didn't.

how cute

Yes there really was a deer randomly walking along the beach, like I said this is not Michigan for sure!!!

Don't know what this is but it looked cool and scary at the same time.

We soaked up the sun, it was awesome and we were burnt!!! Crazy Gringos!!!

Cassi, Anna and I so cute

Just so that everyone knows!!!

This picture is adorable but it wouldn't be complete without Jessica sleeping so ladylike off to the side.

I decided I do not like hermet crabs!!
