Week in Pittsburgh

On Monday afternoon (after tax season was officially over) - the whole family headed to the airport and boarded a plane to Pittsburgh. I'll tell you one thing, it's pretty difficult going through security with 2 kids (okay - it was pretty difficult boarding the plane too). The crappy thing about the plane ride was that they don't left 2 infants sit together so they had to split us up. On the bright side, both kids were good (Grace slept the whole time and Tommy watched The Hangover with daddy).

On Tuesday, we went to visit our friends Chris, Megan, Arden and Miles in Murrysville. Tommy had a lot of fun playing with Arden and Grace just enjoyed watching the other 3 kids playing.

Wednesday - Tom and I drove around the area and then headed down to The Meadows to do a little gambling. We didn't do so hot - but oh well. That night, we ordered pizza from Tom's 2 favorite places (Jioios & Hotel Loyal). Aunt Eileen  came over to visit and Tommy loved playing with her.

Thursday we went to Primanti's for lunch and then the girls went shopping (yea - for no sales tax) and then Tom's Gram, Aunt Mary and Uncle Butch came over for a visit.

Friday afternoon, we all headed down to the Pittsburgh area and went to Tom's Aunt Cheri's house for pizza and an egg hunt for Tommy. Since it rained most of the week - we had to do the egg hunt in the house. Tommy got quite a few eggs (with help from all the other kids - since he was more interested in the bouncy ball). After we left there, we stopped by to see Tom's Pap-Pap for a while and then everyone except Tom and I went home.

We went over to visit Anthony & Sharon for an adult only night. We stopped to eat at this cute little Italian restaurant and then went over to the stadium only to find out the Pirate game was rained out - so instead we went over to Rivers Casino for a little more gambling. It was a good thing too, because we (Tom) hit the $1 Wheel for $500 - woo-hoo!

The ride back to Dallas went just as well as the ride up. Grace slept most of the time and Tommy even took an hour nap for me. :)
