Getting a seat at Wayfare Tavern isn’t the easiest thing to do, but it’s actually not too busy during a Saturday lunch.

Here are the second set of Cancun pictures, this time from Jessica’s camera. The one up there is possibly our only group picture with everyone in it, and it wasn’t a very good one. The pictures include: Thursday: Dave, Jessica and me going to Cancun Checking in at the resort (the Grand Mayan at the [...]

I’m long overdue for a Cancun update. I just finally went through all of Steve’s and Jessica’s pictures since I forgot to bring my camera with me. Here are some pictures from Steve. Jann, Steve, Allie, Alex and John went on a Sunday and Jessica, Dave and I went later during the week so some [...]
