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.

11th Month Reflections

His favorite pastimes: crawling, making messes, water play, eating like a big boy, "talking" and being absolutely adorable! 
Look at that mess!

Oatmeal Play


Pasta is one of his favorite foods


Trip to the Bay Area:




Aliyah loves putting on my make-up. She talked me into some lipstick today.





Grandma/Grandpa King came to Visit towards the end of July, as well as SUD's high school friend Jun & his family. I unfortunately was extremely sick during this visit :(
