Viva Costa Rica!

Costa Rica! The end of med school was celebrated with a trip to Costa Rica! Since the beginning of year one, the pains of med school were endured with the thought of "Just wait, at the end of this, we'll go on an exotic vacation with friends, and no kids!" Well, it happened. A few weeks ago, with our friends Jared and Jennifer Jackson, we hopped on a plane and spent 7 days in beautiful Costa Rica. Summary of it's awesomeness in photos:


Roads were absolutely ridiculous. From the narrow windy paths up near vertical mountain roads, to driving for miles the wrong direction on the interstate, the hours of driving I did kept my heart racing and the trip adventurous.



Arenal Volcano--Costa Rica's most active volcano.



The gorgeous hot springs of EcoThermales.



Hanging Bridges-- walking through and over the rain forest was incredible!



La Fortuna Waterfall--brrrr!



Never smile at a crocodile...



Ziplining down the jungle




Manuel Antonio-- the kind of beach you dream about. Secluded, gorgeous, water perfect temperature... Ahh, I want to go back!
