Awesome pictures!

Beautiful photographs of President Kennedy and his family, however, it wasn't arranged very well; the chronology was weirdly ordered after his childhood and college years. There were alot of photos from his presidency that seemed obscure, and I hadn't seen them before, like his trip to Mexico City and Jackie's trip to India. Some of them were sadly mislabeled.

I could wax intellectual on the wide-array of photographs and the lovely lay-out, but I mostly just really like the pictures with the ice cream.
