Costa Rica Vacation

Mike and I went to Costa Rica a few weeks ago and it was phenomenal! We went with our good friends Jared and Jen Harris for a week at the Allegro Papagayo Resort in Guanacaste. Our week was amazing! Our hotel was nestled into a lush forest and unfolded onto a black sanded beach which had the softest sand I have ever felt! We were able to go on a few excursions which included a tour through their main town of Liberia, a zip-line adventure and a hot springs stop, and - in true tourist fashion - snorkeling. It was a breath-taking adventure and Mike and I were so grateful to have the opportunity.

One of the things I pride myself in is finding deals. When my co-worker mentioned AppleVacations.com, I was naturally curious. Mike and I did some research and we found a great All-Inclusive vacation option for a really reasonable price. So, we had a blast and didn't break the bank!

Here are some pictures of our trip. More to come...

Our week was wonderful and we were so happy to have some down time together. Mike and I were finally able to relax and be care-free again. (sigh) It was just magical. I'll post more pictures of our adventures soon.
