  • On top of the trees

    For our final day in La Fortuna we booked ourselves into Mistico Hanging Bridges – 22 different bridges through the rainforest, 6 are hanging bridges in the treetops. We set out at about 10am for the 2 mile round trip walk. Thankfully this was also mostly stroller friendly so we…

  • Arenal Volcano

    The main reason we are in Costa Rica is so Charlie could see a volcano and today is the day. Well, after we file a police report it will be the day. Jacob spent the morning itemizing what was stolen at the police station while I tried not to lose…

  • There’s a first time for everything

    We had an incredible day today. We had originally planned to visit the volcano today but when we woke up it was quite cloudy and they were calling for possible showers. Since it’s going to be a challenge to get the kids to hike the trail we figured we would…

  • Playa Panamá

    Playa Panamá

    Well the last two days might be my favourite days yet. I convinced everyone to leave the villa before 10 yesterday morning and we headed to another new beach, Playa Panamá. It’s the next beach to the north of us, so less than a 10 minute drive. This beach so…

  • Playa Conchal

    We went on our first day trip today. We decided to check out Playa Conchal – it’s a beach where instead of sand there are just ground up shells instead. It’s near the top of a lot of “must see beaches of Costa Rica” lists and so we figured we…
