7 Nights in a Private Costa Rican Mansion Without Paying Extra? Overlooking the Playas Del Coco!

For our third Inspirato Pass trip, we chose this incredible 4-bedroom Monte Del Mar villa in Pacifico, Costa Rica. It's an incredible, sprawling estate for our 5-person family and it's absolutely perfect for our needs. In this video, we essentially provide an Inspirato Pass review so you can see the features of the home and property and decide for yourself: is Inspirato Pass worth it? Is Inspirato a good deal in general? Considering what we pay per month, there's just no question. Once you start traveling like this, you never wanna go back.

Inspirato Trip to COSTA RICA (DAY 1): Iguanas, Crocodiles, Monkeys and a Hidden Restaurant

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.

Reagan gets SCUBA certified for our next Inspirato Pass trip

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!

We've broadcast HDHH from our Denver home, from our Coronado Island home, and now from Los Cabos, Mexico!

Proper Apple Martini - Hump Day Happy Hour fall cocktails with #Lockwoodeffect

Because of our secret weapon main ingredient, this apple martini is hands down the best appletini in town!

Tito's vodka is our go-to vodka, of course, but the star of this week's cocktail recipe is Leopold Bro's New York Sour Apple Liqueur. Unlike the neon green "Puckers" Schnapps that's typical for an appletini recipe, The Leopold's tastes like biting into an actual granny smith apple. It's the real deal and results in a much more sophisticated apple flavor.

It's Cocktail Time!! Unless you've been drinking under a rock for the past couple decades, you've no doubt seen countless Moscow Mule Cocktail drinks on bar/restaurant menus.

But what if you're looking for something a bit different? Enter: the Sangria Mexican Mule—a Spanish/Mexican spin that incorporates red wine and swaps in tequila for the vodka.

We Turned Brooklyn’s First LA Modeling Gig Into a Family Vacation (Spago Beverly Hills + Rodeo Dr)

Now that our kids are modeling again, we're doing regular trips to Los Angeles. So when Brooklyn got a gig with Hayden Girls in LA last week, we decided to take advantage of our new Inspirato membership and the kids' remote school and get the entire family out for a quick vacation. We stayed at the SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills and hit up some of our favorite restaurants, like Sugarfish Bevery Hills and Spago Bevery Hills. And sure, we got the kids out for Rodeo Drive window shopping, but we also got tons of sun in the rooftop pool! And Phil was such a trooper since we left Denver just a few hours after his oral surgery (you can probably tell that his mouth is still a bit numb and that he's on pain killers ;)
