Short vacation over… need some more!
Finally managed to take some proper vacation and head on down to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. On the way we stopped in to see Stef which was a nice way to start the week. She is only 1600 or so KM from where I live, short drive 
All told we drove 3600 KM and managed a decent 7.1L/100KM in our car. The little guy seemed to like the drive as long as a bottle of juice was close at hand.
I would certainly go back there around the same time next year. The weather is about a month ahead of us and its nice to jump a bit ahead for a week or two.
After two full days of meetings I think taking only 1.5 weeks off was nowhere near enough. On the task list for me in the coming weeks is a bunch of stuff ranging from fixing this blog (it crashes way too much) to mapping out the GUI development for the summer on the new jobmine system and a bunch of blog posts that are floating around in my head.
