So, we went to scenic Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania this past weekend... by car. Yes, we are crazy. But we also own a Prius and found the monetary difference in gas to get there and back versus a round-trip plane ticket to be too great to ignore. So, early Friday morning, we packed "Master P" and headed north on an eleven hour drive to visit Kristy (Mike's sister) who is attending the Universtity of Pittsburgh for graduate school.
We felt it important to visit her on this particular weekend as one of her classes was meeting for special discussion on Saturday afternoon that would not end util 4PM - 30 MINUTES after the GA/FLA game started. Knowing how much of a UGA fan Kristy is, we knew she would need moral support after finishing her class. So, the game didn't go that well, but the rest of the night followed with much fun and hilarity all around. Translation: we got drunk. Kristy took us to this great little hole in the wall Mexican restaurant that seemed to be very popular among the college crowd (who mostly showed up in Halloween costumes looking ridiculous). They had deliciously strong margaritas! Yum! Later that night, I sat in Galileo's lap (note to Kiki: send me those pics please).
Sunday we took advantage of the time change, and grabbed an early brunch (or breakfast, whatever you want to call it), and then said our goodbyes. On the way back, TomTom apparently had a scenic route in mind. So we stopped in West Virginia to take some pictures of the views afforded at a scenic rest stop. All in all, the trip to the Pitt was refreshing! Thanks Kristy for being such a great host! We miss you already!
Joe Mama's... Angie Daddy's! OOOOHHH, snap! (the restaurant was just called "Joe Mama's") This was a great little Italian diner we had dinner at on Friday night upon arriving in Pittsburgh. The above slam is courtesy of Mrs. Kacy Land, the best Spanish teacher I know! :)
We were feeling no pain with the Margaritas!
I don't remember taking this picture - but I am assuming it was because the place was called "Maggies."
We payed homage to Mr. Rogers by taking a picture with his T-Rex look-a-like in front of the radio station in Pittsburgh. He even had a trolley going down the back of his tail!
A beautiful ride home and great end to our trip :)
