For Spring Break, we got back to traveling and went outside of the country for the first time! To Costa Rica we went!
We might look relaxed but it was stressful getting to the gate after a much longer than expected security line! There may or may not have been some running to get there...
Thanks to Covid - masks on in the airplane!
The food at our first lunch was terrible, but the drinks were delicious!
The first half of our trip was spent at the beach in a small town called Samara!
Not a bad view from our treehouse (hotel) room!
It didn't take us long to find the pool!
The first day, Owen and Dad attempted surfing! Owen had a bit more success than Dad!
While they did their surf lesson, Mom and I hung out on the beach!
And I caught a few waves myself on the boogie board!
The next day we had another first - riding horses! And we got to start on the beach!
We rode the horses to the top of a cliff where we could see the ocean and the beach!
Hammock relaxing was needed after our horseback ride!
Another day we took a short hike to the Belen waterfall! We weren't quite brave enough to swim at the bottom of the falls so we hung out in the pools at the top!
More beach and ocean time!
The waves were awesome for jumping and boogie boarding!
I had a fun time using the beach to practice gymnastics!
We did find some good Costa Rican food in Samara! Lots of rice and beans!
Breakfast under our treehouse room was always good!
Our treehouse hotel room was fun except that we all had to cram into one room at nighttime because that's the only place there was air conditioning! Quality family time!
We didn't waste any time getting into the waves when we arrived! Our first time in the Pacific Ocean!
Here's one of my cartwheel roundoffs on the beach!
