Jason and I have taken anniversary trips each year since we got married. Usually by ourselves, although we did bring Caleb with us the year he was born since he was only a few months old. Most of them have just been long weekends and for the first three trips, we stayed in CO. For our fourth anniversary, we ventured out of the state and went to Taos, New Mexico. But we decided that maybe every five years, we could try to do something bigger. So this year, we actually left the country (for the first time together) and went to Costa Rica!
We were gone for a full week (including travel days). It was the longest we'd ever been away from Caleb. Jason's parents kindly took on the somewhat daunting task of watching him the entire time we were gone. He had a great time with them, and we enjoyed the peace and quiet. We missed him, of course, but also appreciated the freedom of traveling just the two of us. And I slept like a rock most of the trip, not having to worry about whether he was going to need me in the middle of the night.
We had an amazing time. We stayed at a really nice boutique hotel in Manuel Antonio. The hotel was located on its own nature reserve so we were surrounded by rainforest, but not a far drive from the beach. We got to go to the nearby National Park, spend some time at the beach, eat delicious food, go on a mangrove boat tour, and just relax at the hotel. Jason took LOTS of pictures. We tried to pare them down, but there are still quite a few. Enjoy!
