1st Birthday!!!

I had a grand vision for Sud's 1st birthday party... A Very Hungry Caterpillar themed extravaganza. For the most part, the party turned out amazing, with a few hiccups here and there. Weeks were put into making the decor and waaay too much $$$, but it was worth it. Will I do it again? Probably not until he is 5 years old and able to actually remember it. HeeHee.  Happy happy 1st birthday, my big boy!!!

Costa Rica 2013 (August 1st-8th)

We had our 1st international family vacation in Costa Rica, and it was nothing short of amazing! We stayed 2 days/nights in Manuel Antonio Rainforest  and the remainder of our stay at Los Suenos Marriott Beach Resort. While we did have several adventures with little Sud, SUD & I were also able to get away just the 2 of us and have more adventurous excursions.

On our way to our rain forest bungalow in our rental car that reeked of cat urine.
                            



The Tulemar Bungalows in Manuel Antonio Rainforest were amazing! We were right in the middle of the jungle, and just a short walking distance to our own private beach. We saw tons of insects, birds, sloths and heard several monkeys right outside our villa.

Headed down the steep trails to our beach.

Sud was a bit unsure what to make of the beach.
Does he seem to be enjoying it?

Nope! Not a fan of the water or the sand.



After 2 wonderful days (we should have stayed longer), we got in the car for a 2 hour drive to Los Suenos Marriott Beach Resort. Upon arrival, the first thing we noticed were the awesome iguanas all over the property, both black and green in all sizes. The highlights here were swimming around the pool with little Sud with a drink in hand AND the waterfall rappelling & zipline tour SUD & I did together.
