When I noticed this next Lens Artist challenge, Special Spot Shots, I got excited! Special photos are awesome.  They bring back warm memories and make me smile.

Here is my short story:

As I was getting ready to turn 50, six years ago (yikes!), I planned my own celebration that took us to our first visit to Sandals Resort, in Antigua (West Indies). We had stopped in Antigua on a cruise (oh, also my birthday celebration 😊) and I loved it. This was our opportunity to explore the island a bit more.

Needless to say, we loved Sandals!  We loved it so much that when I asked my husband what he would like to do to celebrate his retirement, he chose Sandals Resorts 😁 We chose a closer location, the resort in the Bahamas (post here), and celebrated early last year. We very much enjoyed both locations, but overall, we both agreed Antigua was our favorite.

Let me give you a photo tour of one of our favorite places:

Below is a video I took while there.  Every night we heard, what we discovered to be frogs.  I was never able to actually find any, but we sure heard them. When I listen to these little frogs, it takes me back…

We hope to go back one more time.  Perhaps to celebrate my 60th birthday!  Yes, I love to celebrate, and my loving husband, he is always happy to come along for the ride!
