Miranda and Mike took a trip to Nicaragua from December 30, 2008 to January 18, 2009. They stayed at a house they own called El Porton Verde, or "la finca", which is still being renovated. During their trip, they relaxed with family, saw new volcanoes, went surfing at different beaches, and took day trips within Nicaragua, including one to Chinandega. They celebrated their 4th wedding anniversary during the trip and enjoyed the scenery and activities at their property and around Nicaragua before returning home.
