Costa Rica and Washington DC!

Costa Rica is one of my favorite places in the world! I just got back from my second trip and I was still amazed at the beauty of that country! I went with 3 boys which made the trip very interesting and entertaining. I only had met one of the boys a couple weeks before the trip(working for Jet Blue and being able to fly last minute came in very useful)!
The boys picked me up the airport and as we were driving to La Fortuna we saw a bungee jump place on the side of the road. Since that was one of the things we were planning on doing while we were there we stopped. This was one of the only places is Costa Rica where you can jump off a bridge so we decided to do it! It was for sure the scariest thing I've ever done but so worth it!

In La Fortuna we went swimming in the river with some of the locals and jumped off a rope swing.

The next place we went was Manuel Antonio which is a place I had never been. I have no clue why I hadn't been because it was the most beautiful place ever!

this was a restaurant in Manuel Antonio.
The prettiest sunset I've ever seen! I want to go back to this beach with my husband!
Crocodiles off a bridge! Crazy, there were about 25.

Jet Blue doesn't have connections that get back to Salt Lake in one day so I stopped in DC for a day and stayed with my friend McAllan.
