Ultimate Refreshment: Easy Mixed Berry & Mint Slushies for Summer Fun
We recently returned from an absolutely unforgettable two-week vacation in the breathtaking landscapes of Costa Rica. This incredible journey was a truly special way to celebrate my in-laws’ 45th wedding anniversary, as they generously chose to treat our family and my sister-in-law’s family to an adventure of a lifetime instead of a traditional party. The first week was spent in a wonderful rented house near Manuel Antonio, where every day brought a new thrill. We soared through the rainforest canopy on exhilarating zip-lines, explored the vibrant biodiversity of the rainforests, bravely rappelled down majestic waterfalls, and discovered the colorful underwater world through snorkeling. Wildlife was abundant and captivating, with playful monkeys, slow-moving sloths, and a myriad of exotic birds making appearances almost daily. The second half of our trip offered a completely different, more remote experience as just the three of us ventured into the Southern part of the country, exploring the pristine wilderness of Corcovado. This part of the journey felt truly off-the-grid, offering an unparalleled connection to nature. While it’s always good to be back home, this Costa Rican escapade is a cherished memory that will stay with us forever. I am so eager to share all the detailed stories and countless pictures in my upcoming “Thursday Things” posts over the next month, as soon as I can properly organize all our amazing snapshots!
