The Best of Times and the Worst of Times

Over Spring break (April 12-21). Dave and I headed to Houston to visit his sister and then to Playa del Carmen, Mexico for 5 days. We had a great time together, enjoyed beautiful scenery and relaxed on the beach, but also had some disappointments. Due to unforseen camera damage/difficulties the following pictures may or may not be acurate representations of our trip.
