A picture-perfect handful of days en famille in Costa Rica for Spring Break was just what the doctor ordered on innumerable fronts. Here were the #costaricanhighlights that I felt were worthy of highlighting in this week’s #hacksthenewsletter:

• It is always super healthy to take a moment to savor natural beauty like a stunning sunrise or sunset
• There is likely no better coffee on earth than that from Costa Rica
• Ziplining is not just for kids
• You are never to old or too young to learn to surf
• Time in the ocean with your children is a gift. Period.
• Working out hard is as important in training the mind as it is the body
• Cold-plunges are worth trying (per next week’s #hacksthenewsletter)

Taking a few minutes to write down what I valued on that vacation helps me to experience it all over again…where the time with Hal and the girls was the most precious, albeit ephemeral.
