  This weekend, Craig, Becky and I ventured to Pittsburgh to visit our friend Ryan. We left on Friday night about 6ish and made it Ryan's house just after 11ish. This is of course with stopping for dinner and then later on for coffee. It was such a drag once we got into Ohio and couldn't speed and it was dark. I found it amusing to turn on the car light when we were passing a truck and make the sound your horn sign. I did that with 3 trucks and got 3 responses. Then the 4th time Craig seemed to do 80 by the Truck and he didn't see me. Then Craig said enough was enough. Friday night after getting to Ryan's we did much of nothing.
In fact Becky and I were cold and snuggled up on the couch (also known for this trip as Ryan's bed) Ryan started to get kind of cranky when it was past 12 and he wasn't in bed. So after a while Becky and I stopped torturing him and off to bed we were. Saturday morning after having 2 girls and 2 guys get ready with only bathroom with a shower, we ventured out to eat breakfast, and chose to eat at good ole Bob Evans.
Then we made our way to IKEA I don't think I have to tell you how cool IKEA is. Becky had never been and I am pretty sure she would sign up to go back. Okay so they don't have all the furniture you want to furnish your house with, but they do have some pretty cool stuff for practically nothing. We got some candles, and some pictures and such! Then we headed to the Waterfront Mall downtown.
It is this really cool outdoor mall, similiar to our Village but bigger. Becky and I did some shopping, while Craig and Ryan hung out at Gameworks. Soon enough 3 pm was approaching and we hadn't eaten such breakfast. So we decided we better at least have something. But nothing to big since we were going to urlLink Monterey Bay for dinner (this really awesome restaurant that overlooks the city of Pittsburgh). So we ventured to a Mexican restaurant for some snacks. At first we ere outside but it was windy. I kid you not that it took over 45 minutes to get our food and we were mad. The manager even took care of the bill. I think that might have something to do with me, as last week at work we went to Cooker for lunch and I got our bill taken care.
This was because our server was bad, and when the manager stopped by doing his rounds I told him that he needed some training. Well then the manager offered to give us free dessert and we said no thank you, and he ended up taking care of our bill. After hanging out at the mal at little more, we scurried home to change for our 7 pm dinner reservation. The restaurant was awesome. We took some nice pictures there, including our dessert! After dinner we headed to Station Square.
To get there we took the incline down the hill that was pretty cool. Of course by now I was having stomach issues. I was in a lot of pain, I think it is chocolate or lactose related. After walking around we headed downtown. Ryan and I wanted to go to Philithy McNasty's which we thought was a funny name, which is just a sports bar/burger place.
Then on Sunday morning we headed out for brunch at the Grand Concourse at Station Square. I highly recommend it to anyone. It is operated by the Muer family. You have to walk through a tunnel from the parking lot It was beautiful inside And outside Then we headed off to another mall. Did I mention that PA has no sales tax on clothes.. What a savings! We left PA around 3 and got home around 8ish. Thank you Ryan for being so sweet, we all had a great time. :)
