Work took me to Omaha, Nebraska for the first time in my life this week. Unfortunately I can't seem to shake that Counting Crows song, "Omaha" from continuously running thru my head. However, that is pretty much the most positive thing I can say about my trip to Omaha. That and the guy I saw in the airport with probably the coolest mullet I have ever seen. Truly business in the front and party in the back. Really wishing at that moment I had a camera phone.
I still don't get why the College World Series is played there every year but the people who attend it always seem to have a great time. It's the flattest place I've ever been, it's cold and windy and there are hardly any Starbucks there. Luckily it was a quick trip.
Not nearly as much fun as the trip Tricia and I took last week to celebrate our 10th anniversary. Most couples probably would have gone to some tropical location but not us, we're just not warm weather beach types. We took off to the San Juan Islands off the coast of Washington ... in February. The weather was a bit chilly and rainy at times, but frankly it didn't bother us at all, we were just enjoying the scenery and hanging out sans kids.
This is right outside the Friday Harbor House where we stayed. Highly recommend it if you're ever in Friday Harbor. Good romantic getaway type spot, wouldn't necessarily call it kid friendly however. Below is the hotel and a couple of shots of the town from vantage point of the Ferry we came in on.
