So, we just got back from a week's vacation down the Cape. During our one rainy day we (my wife, mother-in-law, brother-in-law, and three children) decided to take in a harbor cruise. We're like the second family in line to get on board, and as we're going across the ramp we realize that there's a photographer taking group shots. Having done the Odyssey Mother's Day brunch cruise every year for the last five years, we know the drill – take a family shot, then sell it at the end of the cruise.
