POTW: 3/30/15





PC: Tour Guide in Aruba

Have you ever met someone who derives pure joy from the simple act of giving? My grandpa lives for spoiling our family. I say spoils, because I've got enough self awareness to admit that he spoils me, as well as the rest of our family. He is the sweetest man. He has been a hard worker his entire life, and is now working on tackling that goal of 'retirement'. This year, he surprised my family with a pre-planned vacation to Aruba, as a Christmas gift. I realize that isn't normal & I appreciated it that much more! We toured the island, swam, napped on the beach and ate like kings. The trip was fabulous. The POTW was snapped during an exhilarating, exhausting island tour. I love this photo so much because I feel like you can look at my grandpa and just KNOW he is an amazing person. He looks adorable, happy and free. Just what someone on vacation should look like. It captures his spirit so well, I had it blown up onto a canvas print to hang in my house. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
