My parents and little brother came to town in honor of my graduation! They arrived late Thursday night - just in time for dessert. My mom always requests a mixed fruit tart for her birthday and since I sadly won't be there to celebrate with her this year, I whipped one up for their visit.
On Friday morning I took my last exam of college! Afterward, I met up with everyone for brunch at our favorite spot, Pamela's Diner. Then we drove to Indiana, PA to check out the Jimmy Stewart Museum. He's our favorite actor, so we jumped at the chance to see all the memorabilia housed in the library of his hometown.
His childhood bedroom.
His Los Angeles office.
The rabbit from Harvey!
My favorite part of the whole museum was the crosswalk outside. Jimmy Stewart's voice announced when you could walk!
We drove back to Pittsburgh and had dinner at Big Jim's, which my parents had seen on the Food Network's Drive-Ins, Diners and Dives. They serve classic Italian food in epically large portions.
This picture is pretty crappy because my camera was on the wrong setting. But look at the size of my dad's calzone!
This isn't the best picture of me, but Scott's expression is priceless.
We had a good time and enjoyed the food, but we all agreed that it looked tastier on tv.
In the middle of the night, I woke up with a stomach bug. Yuck! So we mostly hung around the house on Saturday morning until I was feeling better.
A trip to Anthropologie for some pretty latte bowls and a cute skirt completely cured me.
Thanks to Groupon, we scored some cheap tickets to a Gateway Clipper sightseeing cruise.
We sailed around Pittsburgh's three rivers and saw some great views of downtown.
The football stadium, Heinz Field.
The baseball stadium, PNC Park.
And the Duquense Incline.
We had a delicious dinner at the Church Brew Works and ended the night with a trip to Trader Joe's, since there unfortunately aren't any locations in Texas.
Next Up: Graduation!
