A Beautiful Weekend

We had a lovely weekend in upstate New York.  Saturday we attended a coworker’s wedding reception in a local park:

And today we visited Tim (Megen’s brother) at Cornell:

And now we get to watch the Steelers.  Overall a perfect weekend.

Cruise Slideshow

Megen and I spent 5 days on a cruise traveling to Key West, Cozumel, and Belize.  We spent our time on the boat by the pool (often eating) for hours on end; it was extremely relaxing (to the point where we frequently fell asleep pool side).  In Cozumel we explored Mayan ruins and in Belize we went snorkeling on the reef (and saw a dolphin!).  Watch the slideshow below but be warned you will be jealous.

Groundhogs

Megen and I have been paying close attention to a family of groundhogs that live just around the corner from our apartment.  We see them nearly every day and have even given them names.  Last night I got a chance to take some photographs of them.  Here’s some tips:

  1. Groundhogs are really fast.  Don’t let those short stubby legs fool you!
  2. They are frightened easily but also very curious.  I walked up to their mound and could see them poking their heads out of various holes at me.  When I got too close they darted back in.  So I slowly stepped closer and waited.  Only a few minutes later they popped their heads out again to check me out.
  3. Don’t sneeze.  A sneeze ended this photo shoot.
