Footprints In The Sand – June 2004

I remember this trip well.  I booked a trip for my mom and me a few months prior.  I had some extra money and this was back in my days sans kids.  I thought it’d be nice for Mom to get away.  So I booked 2 tickets to Cancun for us on one of those “package deals”.  It was about $2500 for flight, room and board for the week.  We went, had a good time and actually ended up buying a timeshare at the Royal Sands.  We like it, and thought we’d use it more, but isn’t that how the story goes with most timeshares?  Maybe when the kids get a little older they’ll appreciate it.

This was also the trip I where I broke the news to her that she’d be a gramma in 6 months.  We hadn’t planned on Lilla by any stretch, but here she was coming one way or the other.  I think on that stance alone this photo carries some sentimental merit.  I can’t pick out the perfect verse to go with it, but I gotta think it’s in there somewhere.
