Well... internet was finally installed at our place today along with TV. Going the last week and a half without either has been a bit of a struggle. Now for the back-blogging.
The first place we decided to take my parents while they were visiting was to Arenal. Arenal is an active volcano that is shaped in a perfect cone, reminiscent of the one I made for my 4th grade science project. The volcano erupted in 1968 without warning here, killing many. Since that time lava has been flowing from it, which can be seen from the surrounding hotels at night.
We pampered ourselves and stayed at a resort and spa a short distance away from the base of the volcano. The price was about 90 bucks a night for a room....so really you couldn't beat it. Our hotel had 9 different hotspring pools naturally heated by the volcano. Yes, the color of the water is not optimal but the water is the same temp as a hot tub, making it very relaxing. The kids had a blast swimming in them as did my parents.

Margarita Please? (Parkers favorite spot to hang was at the bar in one of the hot-spring pools with a fanta. I hope this is not a sign! )
Swimmin' with gramps and gram.
A girls gotta use her goggles no matter what---even if she cant see through the water.
