10 years!!!

Heather and I celebrated 10 years of marriage on December 17th! Woot woot!!

To celebrate 10 years, we got our passports and headed to Costa Rica!  This is the view of Atlanta as we taxied down the runway...

...and this is the blue skies of Costa Rica!

We stayed at Villa Sol resort, located in Playa Hermosa, Guanacaste, Costa Rica!  5 days and 4 nights of sun, beach, the pool and adventures!  After we checked in, we made our way down to the beach.

As we were sitting in the chairs on the beach we heard the strangest noise behind, sounded almost like a dog fight, when we looked behind us several people were looking up in the trees...howler monkeys were enjoying the beach as well!

Sunset from our balcony...not a bad view!

We headed out on a mini-adventure to zip line through the canopy.

All geared up and ready to go!

Thumbs up from our tour guides, it was just the two of us and our guides zipping through the trees!

Heather is locked in and ready to go!

Zipping through the jungle!

All smiles from us!

Going from one tree to another via hanging bridges!

The top platform overlooking the jungle below!

And we found a few more monkeys (over my left shoulder!)

We went on another day long excursion to the Buena Vista Lodge.  We started with more zip lining, which was awesome, so we didn't mind doing it again!  All geared up and ready to go!

Zip!

This was awesome and I would highly recommend it!

More hanging bridges

Having fun!

The trees were amazing, but what was even better was the giant water slide (on the right), in fact it is the largest water slide in Costa Rica, with a length of 420 meters!

Helmets on...let the water fly!

Thumbs up from this guy!

After the water slide, we got a chance to dry off and have a snack.

Fresh bread baked in a stone oven!

The spread was very good and full of flavor!

...and the little cup of coffee was outstanding!

After lunch, we saddled up on some horses and headed up the mountain!

Our full crew

After the horseback riding, we stopped at a trail and hiked the rest of the way

Ending at this giant waterfall!

Another group shot!

On the mountain trail!

Swinging from the vines like Tarzan (or a monkey)

Another jungle tree with huge roots...

Our tour guide Julio standing behind some roots!

Julio was a great tour guide and a ton of fun, here he is upside down at the entrance to a hanging bridge!

Thumbs up from this gal!

Thanks Julio for a great excursion!  We had a blast!

We finished up our trip with another day by the pool.  We had a great time in Costa Rica, but by the 5th day, we were ready to head home and see the boys!
Happy Anniversary Babe!
Thanks for 10 years of adventures and I am looking forward to many more!
