Parents Visit

My parents recently visited on the 2nd leg of their road trip. They drove from Florida, stopping overnight in SC, only to drive on to Virginia to visit friends. After leaving Virginia they drove to our house where we spent 5 days together.

My parents arrived Friday night where we munched on pizza and had fun. Saturday we took my parents to the Strip District which is a wonderful market area. Later that evening we headed out to the ballpark where we were hoping to catch a Pirates game, however, it was sold out. Instead we ate a nice dinner and walked around by the river. It was so late that we decided to stick around and wait for the fireworks. Well the game went late and the fireworks didn't start till around 10pm. Miraculously Ry stayed awake and LOVED the fireworks! On Sunday we visited the zoo and then took my parents to Primanti's, a Pittsburgh tradition, for lunch. It was their first visit and by the looks of their clean baskets, they enjoyed it! On Monday we went to story hour at the library and then visited a train store for my dad. Tuesday we went to a free film at the theater. Every Tuesday our local theater has free kids films at 10am. It was crowded with lots of summer camp kids, but the movie (Planet 51) was cute and Ry enjoyed his popcorn. After that Ryan changed into his swimsuit and played in the fountain. We then had lunch and returned home.

We had a wonderful time with my parents and look forward to their next visit in October.
