Happy, Happy Christmas,

that can win us back to the delusions of our childish days

that can recall to the old man the pleasures of his youth

that can transport the sailor and the traveller, thousands of miles away,

back to his own fire-side and his quiet home! 

~Charles Dickens

Merry Christmas from Audrey, Brian and Harper.

May you rest in the peace, warmth and closeness of the ones you love.

My husband and I are celebrating 5 years of marriage come December 28th so we decided to take a little adventure. We haven't had a getaway just the two of us since Harper was born and were in deep need of the healing power of the sea.

I will say Costa Rica exceeded my expectations in beauty adventure and relaxation. This small peaceful country has it all. We lounged on pristine beaches, hiked deep into the rainforest to a secret waterfall and skinny dipped in the crystal clear pools, surfed monster waves, kayaked the magrove swamps, drank water from fallen coconuts, encoutered wild monkeys, sloths, iguanas, deer, a million birds and breathtaking sunsets.

*sigh* I can still hear the ocean.

Happy 5 years my love!

Here's to the PURA VIDA!
