In the summer of 2019, we spent 22 days traveling through Costa Rica as a family.
Valarie and I had never traveled for that long outside of the country with all 4 of our kids, the youngest of which was not even 2 years old.

We spent 3 weeks traveling to 4 different cities and had an absolute blast. We explored volcanoes, beaches, waterfalls, jungles, boiling mud pots, and so much more!
Getting to meet so many wonderful people from Costa Rica and from around the world on our journey made this trip a truly special event for our entire family.
In fact, the first week we were there, we met up with complete strangers from a church located right here in San Antonio who were putting on a sports camp for kids…in Costa Rica. How awesome is that?
So come along and join us as we explore Costa Rica!
