I spent last week in Pittsburgh and it was a lot of fun. Unfortunately, I wasn't terribly productive.
Friday: Red-eye flight with a layover in Charlotte, North Carolina
Saturday: Completion of flight. Had breakfast at Bojangle's (they put sugar on their potato rounds and it was amazing). My aunt, uncle, and their two kids were flying in in the evening. A bunch of extended cousins came over for dinner. We got to meet AJ and he is quite the adorable baby. We also went to the St Raphael Fair thing where they had a mini-golf set up with various significant points of pittsburgh (Steelers, Construction, Zoo, Incline, Kennywood, Pirates, Penguins)
Sunday: Dinner with the Collinger side of the family and then watching the fireworks that were set off to celebrate the grand opening of a casino
Monday: Discovered a polish deli that had fresh pierogies. Went to a park and sweated up a storm
Tuesday: Zoo and dinner with Aunt Betty (my grandmother's aunt)
Wednesday: Kennywood! Went with Donna (my mom's cousin) and her three girls
Thursday: Went down to the strip district to find some goodies for the debate team. It's a pain to try and find the english list of ingredients to see if things are vegan
Friday: Drove my aunt and the kids to the airport. Had dinner with Aunt Bert (my grandpa's sister), my mom's cousin Donna and her daughter Kira.
Saturday: Packed and went to the airport. Layover was in JFK. First leg of the flight was on a puddlejumper that seated 50 people! At JFK, we hunted down food and then got on a bus to go to our plane. We were behind a Jehovah's Witness who was proselytizing to his neighbor and ranting about the wicked and the fornicators (not mutually exclusive, of course). Behind us was some bratty 5-year old who was "crying" for like half an hour. People from the front of the plane came back to tell her to shut up. We got home and I saw my kitties.
It was a fun trip but I am definitely glad to be home again. I have to say, it is strange to go out and not see Steeler's stuff everywhere.
