Let the fun begin - in Texas, actually! Homero & Patty arrived into Dallas from Puerto Vallarta and stayed with us on Friday night before flying to Pittsburgh on Saturday morning. Friday night the four of us enjoyed a delightful dinner in downtown Dallas at the Tower Club. Bobby and Todd surprised us all by showing up.
Todd had another surprise up his sleeve for Homero in Pittsburgh - he arrived on a flight to Pittsburgh before us!
A Saturday in Pittsburgh isn't complete without a visit to Primanti's.
Three hungry hombres.
Saturday night, we got the whole group together for dinner at a Mt. Lebanon institution, Atria's. Left to right: Jessica (my sister-in-law), Eric (my brother), Linda (my mom), Lionel (Benny's brother), Homero (friend from Puerto Vallarta), Patty (Homero's lovely and tolerant wife), Todd (aka Trope), Joe (long story - stupid Patriots), Benny (friend from Cozumel), Chris (my beloved), me, and David (my dad).
Little did I know that this handsome man would later that night be asking my parents if he could marry me. Sly and handsome - nice combo.
I had the extreme pleasure (?) of sharing a room with three stinky boys all weekend. Not sure what happened on that side of the room that night. The snoring sure was strong throughout!
Sunday morning we all loaded up the minivan and headed to Max & Erma's - best damn buffet in town.
Todd found the worst hat ever - and we all had to wear it... why not???
Since we were too early to tailgate, we hit downtown for all the good sights. PPG Place had a lovely tree with a skating rink. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...
Great shot of Heinz Field.
It may have been cold and rainy, but that didn't stop us from tailgating for about 4 hours. We were well prepared...
But not as prepared as this guy with the beer bong and fully-stocked bar.
Our disposable grill really kicked out some heat and made a mean burger (or so I'm told).
However, Chris is the king of the tailgate grill...
By this time of night, we conquered the art of tailgating.
Homero couldn't turn a corner without buying some Steelers' gear.
Apparently there was a game going on, but I didn't see much of the first half since I was staring at my hand. This picture doesn't even begin to do justice to the rock I am wearing.
A fantastic night for all!
Here's the happy couple on a lovely Pittsburgh evening -which includes a Steelers' win!
