Belize

For those of you who don’t know, in August of 2019, our family got a little bit crazy and purchased a small resort in southern Belize. Yes, Belize is another country! We had visited Belize numerous times on vacation and fell in love with the people, the food, all the fun things to do and of course the winter weather! As much as we enjoyed living in Belize, it wasn’t great for our kids. The Covid-19 pandemic made things even harder for our family, especially for the kids. After much prayer and talking we decided to sell the operations of the resort to a wonderful family from Arkansas this past January. Now they are leasing the land from us and running the resort. However, we still love Belize and enjoy visiting a couple times a year. And starting for the winter of 2022/2023 we will be leading trips to Belize for those who want to join us and see some of the amazing country. There we will be visiting Mayan ruins, snorkeling beautiful reefs, fishing, learning to make chocolate, hiking in the jungle and so much more. If you would like to travel to Belize with us just let us know.
