We went to a spring training baseball game between the Mets and Cardinal, went to the zoo, the beach, and went swimming several times. After returning, I finished up and launched a new website.

Today is our 4th Anniversary. Patty and I never had a honeymoon, so for our 5th Anniversary (one year from today) we plan on going on our belated honeymoon. Disneyworld, Las Vegas, and Mexico have been mentioned (in that order). Maegan doesn’t know what Disneyworld is yet, but if we went there, someday soon she [...]
