"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you
didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from
the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
-Mark Twain

I've been thinking a lot about this quote lately. I often think I'm playing it too safe in my life instead of just taking chances. Great words to live by. Love this quote.

I came across this video today and thought it was pretty awesome. I want to be their friend.

Last night I got back from a week long trip to Costa Rica with my sister Kari. It was incredible! It is such a beautiful country, every thing is so green and tropical. It was paradise. I was a little nervous about just the two of us going, especially because we heard a lot of bad things about the road conditions and the crazy drivers, but we didn't have any problems. Everyone we met was super friendly, and the roads weren't as bad as we thought. And we only got our car stuck in the mud once (luckily the next car that passed us didn't hesitate to help us, the guys wife was even knee deep in the mud trying to help).

Here's a recap of our trip:


We did lots of hiking through the rain forests to idyllic waterfalls.







Came across lots of exotic animals and reptiles.


Explored the jungles.


Ate a large amount of surprisingly delicious food.



Took a dip in incredible hot springs.




Relaxed at the beach.


And most importantly, survived the roads.
