marianne + brett

So clearly I am way behind on blogs because I am currently posting about a visit we received in March! Ah! That is horrible! But I would be remis to continue blogging without including this special trip.

In March, Marianne (my sister) and Brett (Dave's brother) flew up to Pittsburgh. We had so much fun showing them our new home, playing board games, going to dinner, shopping and mostly laughing a lot! We missed you Julie!

Here is Marianne and Brett at the airport.

On Saturday, we had so much fun shopping and sitting on our patio. Here is our view of one direction. Can you believe all those houses in the hills?! So close!!
Here is Marianne and myself from the other direction. It is hilarious because there is parallel parking underneath us. Dave and Brett found it so funny to watch people attempt to park. There are those that try to pull straight in, those that hit the curb, those that reverse and pull forward multiple times. Who knew we required such cheap entertainment?

Then we decided to take them on the same tourist attraction we took our moms on! These are the trolleys that take you to the top of Mount Washington. Here is the view of Pittsburgh from here at night. So pretty where the three rivers come together!



Here is Marianne and Me up top.
Brett and David
We went to this new restaurant (to us). They had a great deck overlooking the city. We decided to get a drink before.
Ooohhh...so the restaurant wasn't too popular for dining. We cracked up because we were literally the only ones in there at 8 pm!! Suffice to say, the food was actually really good, but as you can see, they needed a little updating. Probably awesome in its prime - circa '74.
The great thing about these two is that we still have a blast where ever we go!

Thanks so much again Marianne and Brett for coming up! It made for such a special weekend for Dave and me. We hope it isn't long before you back! We love you both so much!
