My daughter is home from college for a few weeks in between finishing the spring semester at school and starting her summer job. She asked if we could take a road trip while she's around.
After various discussions on where to go, we took an impromptu trip to Costa Rica.
If you've never been, I highly recommend it.
The people are wonderful, the food is fresh and delicious, and the scenery is gorgeous.
Highlights of the trip
Highlights of the trip included whitewater rafting… making our own chocolate on a cacao farm… a guided night hike, where we saw vipers, tarantulas and other critters… and several other hikes, where we stumbled upon howler monkeys and spotted a female quetzal (a beautiful blue bird that is endangered).
The best part
But of course, the best part was spending lots of quality time with our daughter. Since she's a college student and a soon-to-be full-fledged adult, those opportunities are growing scarce. So being able to take the time to have an adventure together was priceless.
Grateful for the ability
It reminded me of how grateful I am to have the ability to go on those kinds of trips and make memories with my family – and how much I want that for each of my readers too.
With that in mind, I wanted to share this episode of State of the Market about my three steps to achieving financial freedom, featuring cameos from JWN, MMM, TJX… and BRK-A as Batman.
