Let's Go Steelers

We had just a wonderful weekend with the Johnson family in Pittsburgh. It was so much fun to see all of the special sights, sounds and food, can not forget the food wow it was great too.

We started out the weekend by flying into Pittsburgh and meeting up in town at the hotel. Ally had the wake up call of her life when Grady decided it was time for her to wake up from her nice nap. He walked over so silently looked at her then yelled right in her little ear. She jumped so high I thought she was going to hit the ceiling. Then we started the tours. We saw where Shawn had proposed to Robyn, Church Brew (odd to be in a church that specialized in making BEER) great food and drink. Then we headed over to a live street band and the kids all got their boogie on.

The next morning we started the tour off at the Strip District what a great place to be and purchase goodies, sweets, treats and Primanti Brothers too. What a cool sandwich, coleslaw meat, french fries, dressing on the most amazingly moist and soft white bread. It was the best sandwich Selim and I had ever had.

From the Strip District we went to see where Shawn and Robyn had their first home. It was so cute. I loved the location and the house. Not to mention how beautiful her School that she used to work at too. Then since we were going down memory lane we headed over to Robyn's home town Sewickley. We did make a stop for some treats from the bakery that Robyn worked at as a young teen. Loved the cookies. Then was got to meet Robyn's grandmother what a nice visit. It was so much fun hearing about the crush that she has on Robyn's husband. Shawn is super man in her eyes. Fun to hear all of the stories of younger Robyn and Shawn.

Then dinner time and it was off to Wings for some more good eats. I had never really eaten wings but they were just juicy and yummy. Never tired ketchup and vinegar but it really made the fries rock.

Sunday morning we jumped on the Pittsburgh Duck Tour and it was so much fun, plus filled with lots of great info on the city. Not to mention that the kids all go to drive the boat/truck on the Ohio River. Now that we were all very hungry we headed over to Station Square for their Sunday Brunch and it was just wonderful. All of the way down to the Banana's Foster. I would have to say that I would go back just for the home make "HOT" doughnuts.

I know it sounds like all we did was eat but there was much more than that. We had tons of great laughs and made more wonderful memories. We look forward to our next Tobey/Johnson family vacation....maybe Turkey one day. We saw your home town now you have to see Selim's.
