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!

Omgosh. What a fun night out in #IthacaNY! Every T Omgosh. What a fun night out in #IthacaNY! Every Thursday till September 9 @downtownithaca hosts a free outdoor summer concert, and the energy is just what my soul needed. Of all the times I @visitithaca, I am left wanting more. Coming to the #FingerLakes? Add this awesome city to your list. But plan on slow travel, this ain’t no rush and go kind of town. It’s a chill, relax, and enjoy kind of a vibe that makes it the best. All those in a hurry just drive on by. . . . #ithacany #fingerlakes #iloveny #summerconcert #flxsummer #slowtravel #nytravel #visitithaca #coolcity #roadtrip
First time in a long time that we will be sleeping First time in a long time that we will be sleeping in @theFLXcottage. We have about another week ahead of us where work will still be done, but this first night back is giving us all the feels. Taking in the sunset over the vineyard from our new deck. just as we dreamed. . . . #homereno #theflxcottage #countryliving #vineyardhouse #fingerLakes #sunset #flxsummer
Moments that take my breath away. I often find mys Moments that take my breath away. I often find myself sighing in delight as I drive around the region. It could be for a meeting. It could be for an event. It could be for groceries. It doesn’t matter. I will see these views and be left in awe of the beautiful scenery around me. I am grateful for it. Even more grateful to not be jaded by it. . . . #beautifuldestinations #fingerlakes #winecountry #iloveny #roadtrip #flxsummer #lakelife #flxwinecountry
A wonderful weekend was spent cozied up in a beaut A wonderful weekend was spent cozied up in a beautiful home nestled in the forestry woods of Woodstock, NY with some incredible women whom I am fortunate enough to call friends. We all hit pause on our crazy lives to come together in celebration of our friendship and ourselves. It was beautiful. And so needed. Not even the rain could dampen our joy. . . . #girlfriends #sisters #girlfriendgetaway #woodstockny
One of the places we spent a lot of time in when w One of the places we spent a lot of time in when we lived in The Heights and the kids were little, was at the @metcloisters. I blogged a lot about our lazy mornings in Ft. Tryon and strolls through this wonderful space, which was never really crowded or busy (it was the day we visited). There are so many gems in the city, and this is just one of them. Though few people venture further into the community to see what else it has to offer - which I highly recommend. It was such a happy place for us and I am glad it still is after all these years. . . . #cloistersmuseum #metcloisters #fortyryonpark #washingtonheights #iloveny #theheights #uptownmanhattan #nycmuseums
Oh hey, NYC. I know it feels like I take you for g Oh hey, NYC. I know it feels like I take you for granted - always talking about life in the country, living it up surrounded by lakes and farms, but truth be told there’s not a single inch of me that doesn’t have your mark on it. From my colorful language to my ability to completely mind my own business to the quickness to speak my mind. I love you, old girl. You made me tough and gentle and fearless and aware and tolerant and courageous and a hard worker and a late sleeper and so many things that the few lucky ones who were born and raised here can be. In my love-hate for you, as is standard, I also will always appreciate you too. Loved spending this hot summer night connecting with my sister, Jessica, @diningtraveler, and her fam as a “see you later” before they depart to their new life in Brussels. I will miss you, hermanita querida, and will keep a room ready for your visits. . . . #nycnights #nycsummers #hotsummer #realone #madeinnyc
