costa rica {day thirteen}

We are all getting a little anxious to head home. CJ has ‘hell’ week coming up, so he’s getting antsy with some business stuff and decisions. I’m getting antsy with the store stuff {even though I strongly believe it’s all good … I wish I were there}, and I’m going to be gone next week at a workshop {more on that later}. So I won’t be back at the store for another week. And, if you know me … that’s weighing on me.

Believe it or not, the girls are missing home too.

We’ve had an awesome time and are so blessed to have this experience … but … there’s no place like home! :)

The rooms here are made up of little villas sprinkled throughout the hills, so it’s a bit of a walk to get to the pools, beach, restaurants, etc. … so we take a golf cart ride to get to where we’re going. The night we arrived, we were shown to our awaiting chariot {golf cart}. There’s a seat that faces the back and then one that faces forward behind the driver’s seat {kind of a stretch golf cart}. So … the girls all run to sit on the backwards facing seat … and as luck would have it … the littlest one lost out on a seat! She was NOT a happy camper and refused to sit on Taylor’s lap.

Lesson learned … when the cart comes now, she literally books to the seat and jumps on. Fortunately, they’ve managed to squeeze all four of their bottoms onto the bench … but it’s too precious watching this littlest of the bunch fight her way to a seat.

Okay, so here she is actually waiting for the cart to come in the morning. Early bird gets the worm, right?

Last night we took a sunset catamaran cruise … it was beautiful and the girls loved it! Here’s Hunter on our way out to the catamaran.

After our cruise, the girls headed back to the room for a room-service dinner {their favorite}, while CJ and I went to dinner for date night … thank you Tay for watching the girls for us!

As we indulged in our date night dinner, CJ and I couldn’t help but reminisce about our recent cruise in Costa Rica. The allure of cruising had captivated us, prompting thoughts of future adventures on the open seas.

Inspired by our positive experience, we found ourselves planning another cruise, this time setting our sights on the tropical paradise of Hawaii.

The prospect of embarking on an LYA (Live Your Aloha) Hawaii cruise began to shape our dreams of exploring the stunning islands, immersing ourselves in the vibrant local culture, and savoring the breathtaking landscapes that Hawaii has to offer.

As we sipped on our drinks and savored the moment, the prospect of another cruise became not just a plan but a promise of future memories and shared adventures that would etch themselves into the tapestry of our travel tales.

You can find more photos from the day here.

We’ve got another day here in paradise … it’s been a tremendous experience, it’s a beautiful country, the wildlife has been incredible … and the sun HOT! But as I said …

There’s no place like home!

    I love Hunter’s expressions! All your girls are adorable but there is something about Miss Hunter… Looks like you had a great vacation. Good luck with the store decisions when you return.

    With havin so much content do you ever run into
    any issues of plagorism or copyright infringement? My site has a
    lot of exclusive content I’ve either written myself or outsourced but it seems a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my agreement.
    Do you know any ways to help stop content from being stolen? I’d definitely appreciate it.
