We found a Costa Rican treasure! Llanos de Cortez is about an hour drive from our Inspirato villa near Coco Beach. The waterfall was magnificent, but a local gave us a tip on where to hike for some real fun!

Our first day in Costa Rica was an all-day adventure! We started by making some new iguana friends at a city center park in Filadelfia, Costa Rica. These were the biggest iguanas we've ever seen and about a dozen of them came running up to us as soon as we arrived! We then spent several hours on a private boat tour down a rainforest river, where we got up-close and personal with myriad species of birds, crocodiles, monkeys, bats, and more.

Now that Colt and Phil are making a tradition of fishing boat charter trips on each one of our tropical Inspirato vacations, we needed to start thinking of daddy-daughter activities, too. Reagan had been expressing an interest in SCUBA diving, so with only 14 days until our trip to Costa Rica, we got her enrolled in the 15-hours of online academics and 3 days of pool training. The only thing left would be her open water certification dives, which we decided to just do in Costa Rica!

Colt is a special little kid. A little obsessive about his bed, but what’s not to like about that? Sometimes he gets emotional when someone sits on his bed after he’s made it. After you watch all the work he puts into making his bed, you’ll see why...

We needed to get out and enjoy the sunshine! What better way than in a sea kayak? If you love being on the water you’ll love these breathtaking views of the San Diego skyline.

Look, we’ve all had to make changes in our household while the pandemic goes on. Being locked up in a home with kids can be really hard sometimes. There’s so much housework to be done, I don’t know how I find the time... And don’t get me started on the schoolwork: they constantly need help! Well, I’ve got a little video that can cheer you up. I know exactly how it feels to be stuck in a house full of kids.
