Costa Rica helped us identify happiness in a way that we usually take for granted. That is our greatest take away and the biggest gift from our recent visit.

I share more on that in Happiness, Tico Style: Adventures in Costa Rica.

Below are some of the images that we captured along the way.

    Great shots! I am always amazed by the amount of wildlife you can see when you travel. I'm so used to seeing it all in a zoo. Travel really is where we find our happiness as well. Something about exploring and learning together. Plus all of that undivided attention we can give the kids with out the normal household distractions and chores. Thanks for sharing your trip with us!

    @ walkingon travels:

    Thank you! I think that is what I love the most. Just the ability to be there and present all the time : ) It's truly worth all of it just for that!

Yesterday the family and I ventured out for an eas Yesterday the family and I ventured out for an easy 1.5 mile hike. Instead, we ended up scaling Vermont’s tallest peak by accident. Read more on the blog. . . . #vermont #hikers #naturelovers #outdoors #trekking #mountmansfield #familytravel
Resting after a day of road tripping. We’ve arri Resting after a day of road tripping. We’ve arrived to Vermont, our first getaway since the pandemic started. We’ve brought all our own groceries and look forward to long hikes and dips in the lake. Much of what we can do closer to home, but sometimes a change in scenery is what a travel-loving spirit needs. Are you road tripping this summer? If so, where? . . . #summertravel #roadtrip #Vermont #greenmountains #travel
One of the things that I have learned living here One of the things that I have learned living here is how put off some people can easily be about driving more than 30 minutes anywhere. This is interesting because everything, for us in @theflxcottage, is at least 25 mins away - except the breweries and wineries, the lake and some farm stands. But otherwise, we’re driving. So, going into Ithaca (an hour drive) for a BLM protest and a meal, is really nothing and thank goodness because there are so many good places to eat here! They are slowly reopening, and their popular Aurora St. is open this summer for outdoor dining (see @visitithaca for more). We ventured a block away to finally eat at @moosewood_restaurant. Loved it. Want more. Bought one of the cookbooks. It is now on the top of my list along with @thompsonandbleeckerpizza as well as @mercato_kitchen. I haven’t even scratched the surface of all that’s good (what other places should I try?), and the added bonus is how beautiful the drive is. So, for my friends planning to visit, now you know: plan on driving because all the cool spots are worth it. . . . #roadtrip2020 #fingerlakes #ithacany #ithacaisgorges #ithacafood #flxsummer #besteateries
The longer we’re here the more little gems we fi The longer we’re here the more little gems we find that are seemingly just our own. I am more a lover of the sea, as I spent most of my life surrounded by it, but lakes have grown on me too and if I ever get too scared to jump in, I can always trust on my brave puppy to protect me. . . . #myflx #flxsummers #fingerlakes #upstateny #summervibes #lakelife

I’m so happy to have discovered the love for this in my life, and though it remains a work in progress, I’m happy for the many lessons along the way.

Every so often I find myself getting into the old Every so often I find myself getting into the old habits of working too long. I might close my computer, but then I’m on my phone. Or I think of something and start tinkering at it right away instead of jotting it down for tomorrow. But this place makes that a little harder because of all there is to see and do. Like how work turned into an afternoon in Ithaca, walking through the Commons, sipping on an ice latte and taking in the cool city vibes. And while this city inspires creativity and stories and so much I want to write, it’s also laid back and easy to enjoy at a less hectic pace than my brain runs on. If you haven’t been, this summer might be your time. And if you’re a creative soul in need of a break, this just might be your city. . . . #ithacany #ithacaisgorges #ithaca #smallcityvibes #upstateny #fingerlakes #iloveny
