All the roofs at the ranch were green.

Capuchin monkeys were constantly stealing food from us.

Parque  National de Manuel Antonio
Toucan




A mama sloth and her baby. (We saw 6 sloths at the park)




After the park, we went to El Avion for lunch.  As we were pulling into the lot, I noticed a sloth about 5 feet from our car.  I jumped out of the car while it was moving, screaming.  The sloth quickly climbed away from me.







Another sloth at Manuel Antonio Beach.

Brommeliads and airplants grow on almost every tree in Costa Rica.












This sloth was hanging from a wire.


Cape Cod - June 2011

Cape Cod

Cape Cod is such a beautiful area. The kids in MA, had an extended school year because of all the snow days- so it was really calm while we were there. We really enjoyed our time there and hope to go back soon.

Our little cottage on 50 Arey Lane in Wellfleet




3 beautiful sunsets














Fun in the sun!

SUPing:

Wellfleet Harbor
Lieutenant Island Bridge
Indian Neck Beach
The Gut
Gull Pond and Higgins Pond

Kiting:
West Dennis Beach

























We tried going to this island, but realized it was like 10 miles away. Getting there would have been fine, the problem would have been getting back.


Good Eats

Breakwater Fish and Lobster Co (Brewster) - Fish sandwich for me and a clam roll for the hubbs. Made to order, so we had to wait a bit. Huge portions and tasty.

Ross Grill (Provincetown)- A salad to start and a soft shell crab spider roll for me and a fried oyster po'boy for the hubbs. I wish I hadn't ordered the salad. It was from a bag and there were a whole bunch of gross pieces of lettuce in it. My roll was good, but I was already grossed out at this point.

Original Seafood Restaurant (Dennis Port)- This place reminded of Long John Silvers before it was a chain, even though I've never been to Long John Silvers. It was good for fast food seafood. I had a burger, because I was over seafood.

Blackfish (Truro)- This was the best restaurant of the week. We started with a frisee salad with a poached duck egg and bacon. Our second course was confit pork belly with hoisin bbq over white corn polenta and fleetian mussels in a tomato broth with smoky bacon, cilantro, jalapeno and lime. We then had to cancel our third course and I had to unbutton my jeans because we were stuffed. We ended the night with a chocolate tart with pretzel crust.

Carluccios Italian (Yarmouth)- Great roast beef sandwich.

Mac's Shack (Wellfleet)- Steamers, Sushi, Pan-Roasted Halibut with lobster-mashed potatoes and a saffron lobster broth. MMMMM.

Fairway (Eastham)- Breakfast, which included homemade sour cream doughnuts.

Marconi Beach BBQ (Marconi Beach)- Giant smoker in front, smells great. Not smoked BBQ ribs and pulled pork. They just run the smoker to get suckers to come in. I was so mad.

PB Boulangerie Bistro (Wellfleet)- The most amazing croissant that I have ever had.

Spring Break in Miami


My parents were babysitting my niece and nephew for ten days, so I decided to go down to help them. I hung out with my sisters, parents, niece and nephew.




I had my fair share of Cuban pastelitos and coffee,




manatees,


a sick nephew,




and a wild niece.
