Back from Vacation

Michelle and I were away on vacation last week, thus the time away from the blog. We took a cruise across the gulf of Mexico, leaving and returning from Miami with stops in Key West and the Costa Maya region of Mexico. We had a great time. Among the highlights was a visit to the ruins of the ancient Mayan city of Tulum.

Otherwise, we just hung out on the ship, reading and relaxing. Jackson stayed with my parents, and apparently had a great time.

My only regret is that I wasn't around to experience the hysteria surrounding the cartoon French fry bomb scare. We actually saw a news report on it while we were getting ready to go to dinner one night and worried for just a moment as the "Boston Bomb Scare" graphic flashed on the screen...at least we didn't have to worry for long.

Pictures follow:
