A week ago today we were up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania visiting Missy's family during the Memorial Day weekend...here a few more photos from our visit...

We did a good deal of driving around, checking out the sights in and around Missy's old neighborhood...

We drove past Missy's old high school - AMBRIDGE AREA HIGH SCHOOL - which is actually a new high school built on top of where the old building used to be. Their high school's team name is THE BRIDGERS, on account of all the bridges criss-crossing in and out of Pittsburgh...even the entrance to the high school has a bridge...

Last Sunday, we headed over to Missy's brother's house to celebrate his birthday. They made a chocolate cake for him and we delivered it on a CAKE PEDESTAL that Missy designed for the company that we work for...Missy rode with it on her lap, hoping we didn't hit any major bumps or potholes...

We passed by the SWEETWATER ART CENTER where Missy used to intern back in the day, teaching kids about art...

At Greg's house, Greg took photos of us on his NINTENDO DS...he had this videogame called "PHOTO DOJO", where animated photos of yourself and your friends did battle. Greg started out by taking photos of his Dad in different fighting stances...

The next day we went into the city to do some shopping and more sight-seeing. We drove to the top of MOUNT WASHINGTON to gaze down on the Pittsburgh skyline...
