Day 6: Playa Tamarindo . After a little souvenir shopping, we hit another beach today so the girls could get surfing lessons. They were up on the board in less than half an hour! I was impressed! . The beach is very large. It got more crowded as the day went on, since it’s a surfing destination. We stayed for the sunset and had dinner in town. It is more commercialized here than in Coco (where we are staying). . My current number of bug bites: 5 (I thought I got a bite on my shin this afternoon, but I don’t see anything there anymore. 👍) . #ohheyvacay #ArabesAnd1 #costarica #summervacation2019 (at Playa Tamarindo) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0NPp-jBcLn/?igshid=1d5kip41h679t

Day 5: Ponderosa Adventure Park
.
We spent the day at Ponderosa. Feeding the animals in the mini-“safari” + ziplining + horseback riding + kayaking = a lot of smiling and laughing. 😄😂
.
My current bug bite count: 5 (We had to leave our backpacks in the car in the afternoon, so I didn’t get to reload on the bug spray.)

Day 1: Zürich, Switzerland 🇨🇭 🛬 We landed after 8 am...and after most of our group couldn’t sleep on the plane. We’re still smiling, though! 😄 We got started right away with a quick walking tour of Zürich (mostly churches ⛪️) in the morning and a boat ride ⛴ around Lake Zürich in the afternoon. We drove over an hour into the countryside to our hotel, which gave us these cows 🐮 and beautiful views ⛰. We are so grateful to finally take showers and sleep! 😴 #RMStakesonEUR #ohheyvacay #summervacation2019 (at Zürich, Switzerland) https://www.instagram.com/p/By_P7aehMKf/?igshid=1ft8pfu6o48zz

We came home from #springbreak2023 #vacay to these welcome signs made by the little people! Their handmade work always puts a smile on my face. 😊 #ohheyvacay #seeyoulater https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp_7QFVO0_k/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Day 5 of #springbreak2023 #vacay (Part 2): Washington, DC We spent the next few hours at the Museum of the Bible. I am actually surprised at how much we enjoyed it! It wasn’t preachy at all; it was a look at the history of the Bible and the influence it has had in so many ways in various people and areas of culture. My favorite part was the Scripture and Science exhibit. In one part, my dad and I each tried to take the 12th grade Bible quiz. We both missed 2 and got a B+. We are both annoyed with ourselves. 😂 We didn’t have time to go through the whole museum; I think we could have spent a little more time there. The only things that were cheezy were the names of the food places. We didn’t have time to eat at Manna Restaurant 😆, but Dad did get coffee at the Milk and Honey Café. (I made sure to get milk and honey in his coffee. 😂😂😂) #ohheyvacay (at Museum of the Bible) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp6XGfrsyyO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Day 5 of #springbreak2023 #vacay (Part 1): Washington, DC We woke up early today, so we walked through the Smithsonian Castle garden to the Capitol Building. We made a quick restroom stop at the Smithsonian National Art Gallery before heading to the National Archives to see the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and Bill of Rights. #ohheyvacay https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp6S_Hcsc-V/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Day 4 of #springbreak2023 #vacay: Washington, DC We slept in until 8 am today! 😴 After a late breakfast, we visited Arlington National Cemetery. We saw JFK’s gravesite and watched the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Later, we visited a few of the monuments: the Lincoln Memorial, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, the World War II Memorial, and the Korean War Veterans Memorial. After an early dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe, we walked home last Ford’s Theatre, where Lincoln was shot. We came home, and I took a nap…at 6:30 pm. 😆 I hit 12000+ steps today! It’s been a while since I’ve even gotten 10,000… 😂 #ohheyvacay https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp3rHKVsBw3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
