My mom and I took an amazing vacation to Costa Rica earlier this month. It was a very fun vacation with a few excursions and definitely a lot of R&R. We took a tour of the Palo Verde National Park where we took a riverboat cruise in search of wild life - and that we found! We also took a short snorkel cruise off the beach to a reef where I've never seen SO many fish of all different colors, shapes and sizes! It was beautiful. We even caught a rainbow on our trip. The kids had a vacation of thier own...the spent the week in Cleveland with the Kilbane family. They went to the zoo, went on a Safari (in Port Clinton) and Kaitlyn even rode a roller coaster at Kiddie Park. We certainly have kicked the summer off with a bang!
