My Parents Came to Town

My parents came and stayed with us for a week. Here's an idea of the things we did when we weren't at home enjoying Mom's good cooking or a competitive game of cards.

Aren't they cute?
This was at our Conference Brunch with all of our dental second-year friends (well, most of them). Unfortunately ALL my other pictures of that event are so pathetically blurry, that I'm too embarrassed to even post them. We had some great food and a lot of fun though! Thanks for coming everybody!



Kirtland. My mom's first visit here was as a teenager - a lot has been restored since then. This was a great day.

Phipps. Our first time!

This stem/trunk was amazingly large.

Pamela's. My mom and I shared the Morning After Special with the Strawberry hotcakes substituted in, and a side of Home Fries. Pretty much my mom's new favorite meal in the entire world. I knew it would be.

The Duckie Tour. This really was fun. Jackie and Tyler both got to drive the boat/bus/duck-thing! We learned random facts like Pittsburgh had the first US movie theater, the prison tucked between Liberty Bridge and 376 cost some ridiculous amount of money to build, like in the billions [who uses waterfront property for prisons?], and the Burgh has 427 bridges.

Ohiopyle. All the cute shops were closed (I guess for the season), so we just saw the falls.

Primanti Brothers. Another first for us. Interesting. An experience. Good even. Not going to become regulars though.

Falling Water. A very interesting tour and extremely beautiful surroundings.

The Duquense Incline. Of course from the top it's an incredible view. Actually riding the incline probably isn't worth the $4 round trip. I suppose you have to do it once.

All in all we had a great time!! I'm so glad they came and put up with our bomb-shelter basement bathroom. Thanks Mom & Dad. We love you!!
