Vamanos! Let the Celebration Begin!

On top of Diamond Head Crater in Oahu - Aug. 2012
 2013 is the year that Dan and I will celebrate 10 years of married life together!  Since we have moved our next embryo transfer to this summer we have decided to celebrate in true Shack Family fashion and use our timeshare points and flyer miles to go on an adventure to Costa Rica and Aruba!  We have been inspired by a show called Travel With Kids that we found on Hulu.  If you like to travel as we do and want great ideas for traveling with kids you have to check it out!
Arenal Volcano, Costa Rica
We will start our adventure in the jungles of Costa Rica where we will enjoy the abundant wildlife and natural beauty of this country.  
They have the best snorkeling in Aruba!
After our jungle adventure we will relax on the beautiful beaches in Aruba.  Lena will love the iguanas that roam everywhere and enjoy playing on the white sand beaches there.
