The family I have babysat for for the past 5 years asked me to come to Pittsburgh with them a week after our honeymoon. After declining with the excuse that I didn't want to leave my husband so early after the wedding, they asked us both to come along and entertain two of my favorite boys, Michael and Johnny. It was one of our favorite trips to date. Highlights include: Dave and Busters, Kennywood Theme Park, Pamela's Breakfast (twice), bubble tea, pizza at midnight after we had already eaten dinner, Page's Icecream where we also discovered how good the cheeseburgers were right after dinner, Crab Legs, Pittsburgh Pirates, Museum of Natural History (among other cool museums), Phipps Conservatory, tour of Carnegie Mellon, Primanti Brothers, and Saris Chocolates--just to name a few. On top of that, we had the best tour guide anyone could ask for! Aaron managed to navigate the streets of downtown Pittsburgh fairly well despite the boys screaming in the back and his copilot (me) questioning our every turn. He was sure kids could wait for a long while after this trip. At one point, he told John that as soon as we got out of the car he would count to 10 before beating the snot out of him =). The Mullaney's are so fun and we kept busy and well occupied/entertained 24/7.
Primanti Brothers' Sandwiches--coleslaw, fries, meat, and cheese.
Johnny was a little apprehensive about the roller coasters in the beginning. And about using a hairbrush. Ever.
This happened 98.9% of everyday. Sometimes drawing blood.
Finally attempting the coaster.
99.2% of the time.
Pittsburgh was such a cool town--lots of history and character. We will definitely take another trip there in the near future, but will definitely not be eating as much. Pretty sure this trip right after the honeymoon contributed to the "Freshman Marriage 15" I feel like I've packed on.
