A little break at the Beach

Last week, when we found out we were going to be delayed for a bit, we weren't sure what was going to occupy our time. As we were relaying our dilema to some other missionaries, they looked at us and said "why don't you just come to the beach with us?" So that is what we did. We went to The Doubletree Resort at Puntarenas. It is an all inclusive resort to where we didn't have to go find our food or pay extra at a restaurant. It was all included in the price of the room. So this was great for us since we didn't have anything to begin with since other missionaries moved into the home we were living. We decided to go on this trip Sunday and was headed there Tuesday afternoon. Nothing like being spontaneos. This hotel is on the beach but the girls had no interest in the beach just 2 of the 5 pools they had. Since Aaron and I just celebrated April 20, 7 years of marriage this was a great gift to each other. We even traded babysitting with the other couple we went with, 2 out of the 3 nights. Aaron and I were able to eat dinner at a nicer restaurant on the resort, walk on the beach, and then swing in a hammock while we talked about life. It was one of the best dates we have had in a really long time. So I guess Aaron redeemed himself from the Taco Bell dinner we had on our actual anniversary=). It was a wonderful week of relaxation, playtime and family time. We feel so blessed to be able to have taken advantage of the time God had given us to revive before we hit the ground running in Mexico. Enjoy the pics!
