Road trip!

My husband and I have just moved from Brooklyn, New York to Portland, Oregon. I’m also pregnant with twins. Hopefully this explains why my blog has been so inactive all summer.

We decided on a cross-country road trip instead of flying, because we shipped our stuff and that took two weeks. Our journey took about a week and a half (with two lovely stops to visit family), taking us through 15 states as well as a handful of national parks. Here are a few of my favorite snapshots of our adventure!

Costa Rica

A month ago, for spring break, my boyfriend and I traveled to Costa Rica for a week. It was his first time in Central America and my second (I visited Guatemala over Christmas last year). We went to three distinct areas of the country and saw lovely landscapes everywhere we went.

I’d hoped to see even more wildlife, but the flora and fauna we did see were fascinating.
