It's our 10th Anniversary!

10 years ago, on 02/02/02 at 2:02 p.m., Amy & I got married!

Amy & Steve (2002)

Back then, we streamed our wedding live over the Internet via RealPlayer. Yup, RealPlayer! Who even uses that anymore? It's funny to think that all the servers, cameras, and technical setup we did back then to pull that off can pretty much be replaced with an iPhone running Ustream today.

Amy, Steve, & Wesley (2011)

Hard to believe it's been 10 years, but I'd do it all again (well, maybe not the part about shooting our wedding on S-VHS… I still need to convert the ceremony to digital!) And these days, we've got our hands full with a new member of the family to keep us on our toes. Let the festive 02/02 celebration commence!

P.S. Our anniversary also marks the 10 year milestone for SteveandAmySly.com… so I guess it's a "Happy Blogoversary" as well!

Wesley's World: 6 Weeks

by Tannerman || Baby Tanner

Our son Wesley is now 6 weeks old, so we thought it would be a good time to update some of the moments we've been having with him so far…

"Houston, we have smiles!"

Theme Park Thursdays: Magical Golf Cart

by Tannerman || Disney, Theme Park Thursdays

Theme Park Thursdays feature photos from one of our theme park adventures in the past.

Backseat Driver (2011)

This is the view from the backseat of an extended length golf cart at the Coronado Springs Resort at Walt Disney World. You can see one of these carts in action via this video I shot in 2006. Coronado is a convention resort with rooms very spread out on property. Thus, they will often provide you a ride for your luggage via these motorized machines.

The carts don't really fit the Southwest/Mexican theme at all, but when you have a ton of stuff to haul, they do come in pretty handy — though I say get off your butt and walk! Today's photo was shot in January 2011 as we were leaving a conference that was held at the resort. We used the cart because of the need to transport the contents of an entire exhibitor booth.

If you look carefully, you can see my reflection in the mirror above the driver (I'm wearing a yellow jacket!)

Theme Park Thursdays: It's Not Easy Being Small

Smaller Guests Enter First (2009)

You never get any benefits when you are small… unless you ride Snow White's Scary Adventures, because then you can enter first! Of course, the real purpose here is to prevent you from falling out of the ride and dying, so I guess that's a good thing. It won't matter much soon, anyway, as this ride is slated to be removed as part of the New Fantasyland Expansion at Walt Disney's World's Magic Kingdom.

Frosty Ears? (2009)

My sister Karen models a set of Christmas-themed Mickey ears during a December 2009 trip. I'm not sure there is a logical place — other than a theme park — where these should be worn.
