Travel

One of the great things about photos is their ability to bring back memories of days gone by, whether they are recent days or far away days.

One of my favorite things about being on a cruise is being out on the water, sailing away on the open sea.

Recently, Laura and I had a child-free weekend while Jaylin was at the church youth group retreat.

Our visit to the beach at Tulum, as part of our 2016 cruise to Mexico, was not quite a year ago, but sometimes when I look back at these photos from our trip, it seems like much longer ago than that.

For many of us who live in landlocked areas, we believe that God created some special places, places that are known as beaches.

At the end of our 2016 Cruise to Mexico, we stopped off at New Orleans for a walk around the French Quarter as we were on our way home.

I was looking back through the photos of our 2016 Cruise to Mexico last year, and I realized that there are still several of those photos that I have not yet shared here.

During our cruise to Mexico last summer, one of our shore excursions was to the Mayan ruins of Xcambo and a nearby beach, getting there by way of the Jaguar Safari Bus.

The beach near the Mayan ruins of Tulum in Mexico looks warm and inviting in this photo from our 2016 Cruise to Mexico.

Crosswalks across drive lanes seemingly lead to Spaceship Earth in Epcot at Walt Disney World, as some dark clouds hang in the sky overhead.
