I went to Seattle for a family reunion which brought family members from all over the world such as Australia, Singapore, Florida, Texas, and more totaling to nearly two dozen people. Our last reunion had been in ’99 in Orlando, Florida when most of us were adolescents or younger.

Dare I say the highlight of my Costa Rican trip! A couple hours of riding, a run in with a pack of coyotes, and a few galloping contests (I lost every time) to drink in these views that you always have to travel far and wide to see. . . . . . . . . #bucketlist #travelgram #lovetotravel #traveldairy #simplyadventure #exploretheworld #dametraveler  #flashesofdelight #openmyworld #wheretofindme #mytinyatlas #beautifuldestinations #getaway #wanderlust #worldtravel #travelstoke #earthfocus #traveltherenext #worldnomads #thetraveltag #travelzoo #sharetravelpics #itravelbecause #traveladdicts #adventure #costarica #viewsfromthetop #centralamerica #monteverde #horsebackriding
