We're going to Costa Rica! We're departing from Columbus and flying Spirit to San Jose from Sept. 13 to Sept. 23.

One hour each at the Pure Jungle Spa in Puerto Viejo while we listen to the gentle sounds of birds and frogs. https://geckotrail.com/tours/pure-jungle-spa-massages-facials-and-more/

Tortuguero National Park sits tucked away in a northeastern pocket of the Caribbean coast. Tied to Costa Rica's mainland by weaving rivers and canals, this isolated park lures nature-seekers looking for a remote piece of jungle paradise. The park houses white-faced monkeys, toucans, jaguars, bright lizards, red-eyed frogs, sea turtles, and blue morpho butterflies. Entry is $15/person.

Half a day paddling and snorkeling some of Costa Rica's prettiest Caribbean coastline. https://geckotrail.com/tours/river-and-sea-kayaking-with-rainforest-hike/

Best snorkeling on Costa Rica's Caribbean side but due to its popularity and need for preservation, a guide is required.

Dylan's first time zip lining that'll hopefully satisfy his need for speed. I'm excited too (as long as there's no spiders).https://geckotrail.com/tours/sky-trek-and-sky-tram-arenal/

After a day of zip lining, we'll get to spend an evening at the luxurious Ecotermales property for dinner and relaxing in their thermal hot springs.

Full day on the Pacuare River on our way to Tortuguero. Monkeys, waterfalls, and class 3 rapids.https://geckotrail.com/tour/tortuguero-pacuare-combo/

Take us out to the movies...complete with handfuls of popcorn and SourPatch! Even after we're married we'll still need classic date nights.

A day at a paint-it-yourself ceramics studio is a duel purpose gift. Not only would it be a unique date, but it would allow us to create custom coasters, mugs, and/or commemorative plate for our new life together.

We're buying a house (hopefully close the week after the wedding)! Only appliance it's missing is a washer/dryer.
