Kodak Moment - Dolphin Connection / Susan Brown, Your Texas Connection, Keller Williams Realty

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams NE, Kingwood Texas (Humble & Atascocita too)

When I first read about the contest, I thought "Oh, that sounds like fun.  I'll get to enjoy some of my favorite photos while I search for just the right one."  That task proved to be a lot more involved that I'd anticipated.  You can't just click through photos without taking a stroll down memory lane.  And that little stroll took a wee bit more time that I'd set aside - but it was worth every minute.  

This photo took me back to a cruise we were on two years ago.  You know, in the real estate world, I am fortunate enough to be able to travel.  Those trips are fun but they are still business.  And I'm still connected to my team 24/7.  This cruise was an absolute pleasure fest!  My husband & I hadn't been able to just take off for any sort of "we" time in a number of years.  An opportunity came up to cruise with two other couples & we said "Yes!"  I have to say this trip was definitely one of the best ever.  I had my business covered by the team & I turned my phone off for a true breather.  

The cruise itself was fantastic!  Activities, food, friends, cards, swimming, spa pampering - you name it, we did it.  Although we spent time with our friends, we still had plenty of time to do our own thing.  A shore excursion we selected gave us a swim with the dolphins.  And W-O-W, it was incredible.  It was a special time with my husband.  We both got to experience the sweet trust of that dolphin.  What an amazing connection with one of God's creatures.  A true "Kodak Moment" since I can feel the sun on my face & my husband's hand in mine every time I see this photo.
