Family and Pirates

We were lucky enough for our son, daughter, son-in-law, and 6 month old grandson were able to join us at the wedding.  We miss them dearly whenever we leave town.  During our travels, we'll hookup with them using FaceTime, but it's not the same as being there. They made the big effort to come for the wedding weekend.
Our son, John, was able to fly to Pittsburgh on Wednesday.  His wife, Jaime, had recently taken a new job, so she was unable to get off work.  Daughter, Maria and her husband Justin and son, Caden, flew in the day of the wedding.  We were busy shuttling people from the airport.

Our kids stayed at the hotel, so we were able to visit with them.  I mentioned the bride and groom are big sports fans, so they invited people who attended the wedding to go the Pirates game with them on Saturday afternoon.  We thought that would be a great idea.  Our son-in-law, Justin, had attended with his father a Steelers game the prior year.  He told us about a great sandwich place and bar in downtown.  We headed downtown early.  Primanti's was already packed with a long line.

Sunday, the family went to a sandwich restaurant for Pittsburgh's version of a Philly cheesesteak.

After reluctantly taking the kids back to the airport on Sunday,  we headed for southeastern Ohio for a relaxing time at a state park near Cambridge, Oh.  The adventure continues....
