My day job is in the offices of a Fortune 500 company, where you will usually find me flying my desk. About 2 weeks ago I had our HR Generalist come to my desk and told me that my name was on one of her “lists” and that I needed to take a vacation. I can accrue up to 6 weeks of vacation time before I max it out, and it would seem that I was maxed out. I told her there was no need to worry, because my buddy Matt was getting married and I was about to fly my happy butt down to Florida for 5 days to help him fit his ball and chain around his ankle. 
So I owe Matt big for this trip; it’s never good to be on a list that HR walks around with.
I’ll see if I can make this post more about pics, than about words.
Matt and Cathy were married in Cape Canaveral, Florida, right by the beach, and just a few mils from the Kennedy Space Center. Several of us from the old days made it down with enough time to make the wedding a nice little vacation as well. We were able to do just about everything we wanted, including: spending a day on the beach, a good bachelor party, seeing the Kennedy Space Center, hanging out by the pool, and spending an evening in Orlando. One quick note about Kennedy: I wish I did more research on this location. There was enough to do there to easily spend a full day, or 2 half days. We only had a few hours, and I left wishing I had more time to see the rest of what they had to offer.
The wedding was really nice! One of my favorite things was the fact that the hotel, the wedding, and the reception were all in the same complex. This helped keep the stress levels down, and made the timing of events pretty simple. Everything went off without a hitch, and Matt and Cathy “made it right in the eyes of the lord” in front of their friends and family.
