06012009 - Portland Head Light

Maine was great!  This passed weekend and beginning of the week, my wife and I took our first vacation without the kiddos since our honeymoon in celebration of our 5 year anniversary.  At first we were looking for places like New York or Chicago to go, but I wanted to get away from hectic life and visiting large cities is just a hectic as real life in KC.  So we decided to go to Maine on a whim.  Since it was so unlike us (mainly me) to not do trips like this, we went one step further and only planned the airfare and rental car.  The rest of the trip was in God’s hand and it was amazing.  Most of the time we went Lighthouse to Lighthouse, took photos (my new hobby), and just relaxed and checked out the area.  We were able to get a convertible from the rental car place which made the drives even better.

I totally would suggest anyone get away in this style.  Now I am sitting back in the hot office (for some reason GWB HQ AC is not working right), but I feel relaxed and ready to kick 2009/2010 in the rear.

Here are some photos from our trip:

So What’s Next:

Now that I am back, I have started transferring the database and web servers to their new homes.  This includes a lot of third-party applications for ticket tracking, statistics, email, advertising, ftp, documents, and newsletters.  I am doing each application one at a time leaving the main site for the last since it is the biggest.  I will post in the new few days to let you know everything has moved.
