Costa Rica, Day 2

Please forward all our mail for the next two years to:

Chris and Sarah Wehkamp

Hotel Punta Islita, Costa Rica

With a house like this, who would ever want to leave?

As noted in the video (and please, if you're not already, anytime you see blue or purple words in the blog, go ahead and click on them to see moving pictures!), so yeah, yesterday after breakfast, Chris left his banana peel out in an attempt to attract some Costa Rican wildlife.

The day went by and nothing happened.

Last night we had pizza for dinner on our patio,  and yes, Chris added a piece of pizza to the tempting mix.

I just went to check on the trap, and the pizza is gone!  Chris doesn't know it yet (remember reason #4 of why it's easy to blog here?...) but he's going to be so excited!

Yesterday was a day of discoveries.

We were so tired when we got in on Monday, we didn't find much else other than our room and the restaurant.

But yesterday we found the spa

The jacuzzis

The best massage of our lives

The pool with views of the Pacific

The actual Pacific

Gecko's

Hermit Crabs

The Pacific was quite cruel.
The waves are large, the rocks sharp, Chris and I both got cut and I threw up a bit.

We're thinking maybe just chlorine water for awhile, till it's time to scuba.

Today we are going to discover:
breakfast
ziplining
the trash tour
and how to transfer all our funds over to Costa Rican banks.
Since we live here now and all.

Costa Rica, Day 1

Welcome to the honeymoon of a lifetime.

I feel weird starting to write about the honeymoon without mention of the wedding, but we'll back-track when we get home.

For now I will say it was one of the most relaxing, emotional, perfect, happiest days of my life.  I could feel love in every direction I looked.  I got to say and listen to the most precious of vows from the man I love.

Nothing could have made the day any better.

Thank you to all of you.

Chris and I woke Monday at 4am.  By the time we got to Liberia, Costa Rica we were quite exhausted.

We took the longest, most dangerous, slippery rode, driving through small creeks and playing chicken with oncoming traffic, to end up at Hotel Punta Islita, paradise.

We were greeted with pina coladas and cold towels.

We took a nap and then had one of the best dinners of our lives.  (Thank you Wehkamps!)

Listened to the rain fall and went to sleep.

For anyone who might ask "why are you blogging on your honeymoon?"...I have a 4-fold answer.

1.  We love to keep in touch with everyone.

2.  We love to write and share photos.

3.  Our only other responsibilities are getting massages and eating.

and

4.  I'm still waiting for Chris to wake up.

P.S. Mom and Dad - we did have a few problems last night with our Fujitsu Inverter.

The Biggest Dump Ever

Yesterday Chris and I made one serious dump.

Getting into the Lewisville landfill isn't as easy as you would think it would be (not that you ever gave it any thought).

After a ten minute wait, we were on our way.

Dumping things is great fun.

Okay, the actual dumping was a bit anti-climatic, but really, what bride-to-be doesn't dream of taking a trip to a landfill just days before her wedding?

Father's Day

My dad is the best dad I know.

He always makes sure my car is running right, keeps a calm head when I'm mad at the boy, gives advice when I need help, makes me laugh, hugs me when I'm crying, has always expected me to do better than my best, and is in no way gummy.

This father's day we got to hang out and have a pool party.

There were shark attacks and doggie paddle-ings.

I hope you had fun dad.

Thank you for all you do for me, my sisters, and mom. You are truly one of a kind.

A very well-received man.

Ah Taco Bell-Ah.
