On December 26th, the Case family embarked on a seven-day Mexican Riviera cruise to celebrate Charles and Stella's 70th anniversary. After settling into our cabins, we were rousted for an emergency drill.

We enjoyed our first dinner on board that night. Around the table, left to right, were Sharon, Nancy, Charleen and John, Stella and Charlie, and Barbara.

Herb and Charleen smiled for the birdie.

Sharon and Nancy enjoyed a lively discussion.

Jim and Brian talked about—what else?—politics.
