Pura Vida

Adam and I went to Costa Rica for 9 days over my Spring Break. It was a wonderful trip and reminded us of our honeymoon! As a keepsake for us, I want to post pictures and a quick highlight of our trip.
Pura Vida!
Adam and I were really looking forward to enjoying a couple different parts of Costa Rica, and we were so glad we planned a stay in Arenal and Manuel Antonio. At the end of our trip, we both wish we could have had some more time in Arenal but what we had was awesome!
Mountain Paradise

While in Arenal we stayed at two hotels, Mountain Paradise and Nayara. We went horseback riding, canyoning, enjoyed the hot springs and relaxed by the pool! 3 nights were not long enough to truly enjoy the volcanic region, but everything we did was well worth the time we spent traveling to and from each destination.
Nayara

After staying at the amazing hotel, Nayara, for a night we jumped on another puddle jumper to Manuel Antonio.
Each plane ride our hands were sore from squeezing so tight. I would not have traveled another way, but it was a little scary! After arriving in Manuel Antonio, we learned our hotel did not have air conditioning. We were perpetually sweaty the entire trip, but the view and vibe of the town made up for it. It was a tease going from Nayara to a hotel that had very few of the amenities it had offered, but I felt at home within a couple days. While in Manuel Antonio, we went zip lining, took a sunset sailboat trip, enjoyed a couple beach days in Manuel Antonio National Park and ventured to different spots for breakfast, lunch and dinner each day.
Enjoying a vacation just the two of us was a memorable way to spend the two weeks I had off for spring break. Can't wait to plan our next trip!
