Parent Visit Round 3

We have been so lucky to have all of our parents out for a visit this summer! It was a great way for Vince & I to explore Pittsburgh a bit more than we already had. And for our parents to get to see where we are living now!

Saturday we went and picked up Larry from the airport and headed to Pirmanti Brothers for lunch. Pirmanti Brothers is a Pittsburgh staple. Back in the 1930's, Joe Primanti opened a cart in the Strip District selling sandwiches to truckers on the go. To make the meal easier to eat on the go they would put the coleslaw and french fries on the sandwich! This made the sandwiches huge but so so so tasty!
After lunch we had Happy Hour on the deck and grilled some steaks for dinner! It was a great Saturday night!


Sunday we headed to our favorite breakfast spot called The Italian Oven. Then the guys headed off the PNC Park to watch a Pirates game. Sadly they lost but that didn't shock anyone too much! Vince also took him to the top of Mount Washington to see the sights of Pittsburgh! We went to one of our favorite Mexican restaurants for dinner called Old Mexico. After stuffing our faces we headed home but stopped for some ice cream first! Then we watched some old family home movies. It was really neat to see the everyone in the home movies!



Monday we headed downtown to the Heinz History & Sports Museum. We learned a lot about sports teams in and around Pittsburgh and well as the history of the city itself. I think the part we enjoyed the most was the actual Heinz museum. We learned a lot about ketchup! After working up an appetite we went to Eleven for lunch. When we got home the guys headed to the Rec Center for a work-out and some pool time. I decided to stay at home with Miles in the AC! That KC heat wave has made it to the Burgh and it's HOT! We made a nice dinner at home and then played a bit of frisbee with Miles!



We are so happy that Larry came out to visit us! It was such a good long weekend!
