Costa Rica 2009

We got Liliana her very own passport and took her to one of our favorite family vacation spots...Tamarindo, Costa Rica. We all had the BEST time! Liliana was in total "vacay mode" and was a happy little traveler. She did great on the long flights to and from (with a little help from Grandma and Grandpa and their seats and snacks in first class).
Liliana loved all of the birds and animals. Every morning you could hear her out on the deck with my Mom and Dad yelling "Caw, Caw," at the birds in the tree. She had a blast in the warm ocean water and fearlessly crawled along the sand to splash in the waves. She loved relaxing and floating in the pool with Grandma and Grandpa--she was so relaxed that one day she actually fell asleep in the water while lounging on her floater! She had a wonderful time in the tide pools at Lola's beach with Grandpa and laughed while catching waves in her floater with her Uncle Colin and Daddy. She was happy and chill on the trip and would sit in our arms for hours while we sipped on Guaro Sour cocktails beach and pool side. She completely embraced the vacation vibe. It was the best.
Thanks to a ton of help from my mom, dad, brother, and Brittany, Adam and I slept in almost every day. We all enjoyed great food and drinks. We watched the sunset from the rooftop patio and went for long walks on the beach. We visited gorgeous beaches and hotel swim-up bars. Brittany and I had a full spa day at a beautiful resort in the jungle. And everyone's vacation was made even better by seeing Costa Rica through the eyes of Baby Lila.
We can hardly wait for next year!!

Grandpa was in heaven when Liliana fell asleep in his arms after the tide pools:
