McCormacks In The Burgh

What a great weekend we had with my parents! They got in on Thursday afternoon and we kicked off their vacation with Happy Hour on our deck and then some stir-fry for dinner followed by a nice long walk with Miles! The weather was PERFECT the whole time they were here! It even got chilly enough outside at night we would have to come inside.



On Friday we worked on the nursery. We found a unfinished wood store and bought a bookshelf and a few shelves for the wall. Mom and Vince painted one of the nursery walls a nice light blue while Dad worked on painting the bookshelf, shelves and Itty's naughty stool! They all did an amazing job! Miles and I had the easy job of supervising! After a long day of decorating we changed into our Phillies and Pirates gear and headed downtown to PNC Park for a little baseball. We grabbed a quick bite to eat at a bar/restaurant that Vince and I have been to a few times and Itty was NOT a fan. The restaurant was crowded and had very loud music on-I learned that Itty is not a fan of super load places. He was kicking up a storm until we left and then he calmed down quite a bit once we got to the game.




Saturday we decided to go show Mom & Dad the sights. We first went to Mount Lebanon for lunch at our favorite restaurant Bistro 19 and then to a Celtic store. We wanted to pick out a cross for Ittys room. And we found one that was actually made in County Mayo, Ireland where my Dad's side of the family still has a farm! Then we headed to the top of Mount Washington to get a great view of the city. On the way back we found some drapes to put up in the nursery and hung those when we got home. Vince made some amazing ribs on the grill and Mom cooked up a storm as well for dinner! She made us strawberry shortcake and it was so yummy! I have been eating it for days! I even had it for breakfast yesterday!


Sadly Sunday was the day they were heading back to KC. So we made a nice breakfast and then headed to the airport. It was really sad to see them go. We had such a great time!

Thank You so much Mom & Dad for all your help on the nursery! And for coming to visit! We love you very much!
