day 1...

so we took a little trip back east....
we went to PA and DC for vacation/see my niece Aubie get married.
Day 1. Which technically was really 2 days that ran together and there were points that I though would never end! We started our at 11pm monday night when we went the airport and flew to JFK (New York), red eyes are not fun, and with kids they are less fun! :o) But overall it was a good safe flight. After a layover there we flew to our destination...PITTSBURGH! :o)
Got our car, and headed downtown. Manda and Tahlia were on the flight with us but they went strait to donna's. Dave and Mindy (and children) were touring with us. We drove through the Ft. Pitt Tunnels and checked out the city. we ate at Permanti Bro. for TASTY sandwiches...where the slaw and french fries are on the sandwich! :O)
We stopped by and visited with one of my favorite people in all of Pittsburgh. :o) We love you Janet. Thanks for letting us hang out for a little while and for being patient with the children! :o)
After that we headed "up mt. washington" and rode the encline down and up! It was cool. Then back to Donna's. The guys took the kids and all the women went to a relief society dutch oven thing.
Then a little sociallizing and off to BED...it felt good to SLEEP! (in a bed!!) Thanks Ethan and Margaret for letting us stay there. It was GREAT!!! :o)
