4th of July - San Antonio

We had such a wonderful 4th of July with Audrey! We picked her up on Thursday afternoon and drove on to San Antonio. We spent Friday at Six Flags and rode all of the rides. Even got the Flash Pass so we didn't have to wait in line - I'll never wait in line at an amusement park again. Just wish I could use Flash Pass in every day life. Sure would make things easier!

Saturday we spent in downtown San Antonio. Here's Audrey at the Alamo. No, we didn't visit the basement; it's under repair according to one of the travel books.

Sometimes I'm not sure which of them is more mature...


Awww - aren't we cute???
We took a bus tour around the city and saw a couple of the missions - absolutely beautiful.
Great shot of the Riverwalk

These two just loved their Sno-Cones!

Saturday evening, we trotted on down to the Market, however, the shops were closed, but plenty of people watching and street vendors.
Another fun time had by all!

Weekend in Pittsburgh - Dad's Retirement and My Bridal Luncheon

June 28-30, 2008
My Dad

Before Retirement:After Retirement:

See what all those years of work will do to a person!

What a fun evening for my father. He's been with his company for many, many years and enjoyed his retirement party immensely. They had a funny slideshow of pics from over the years, as well as a touching speech by my Uncle Chuck and my father. Truly a lovely evening.

I got to spend lots of time with all the sweet nieces over the weekend too. Not sure if Zoe ate that bread or just used it for a toy. Natalie is all smiles!

Hugs for everyone!

Eric & Zoe chilling on the stairs. Emily's getting in on the bread act.

Zoe & Natalie sure were happy to see each other!Absolutely beautiful babies!

This was actually taken Saturday morning upon my arrival - dove right in and made the girls some lunch.

After I went for a nice long run through Mt. Lebanon on Sunday morning (just like back in the day when I lived there - ah, the memories), we all proceeded to get ready for a luncheon at my favorite, Max & Erma's.

Me and the Girls

Me & Mom

A very nice luncheon for the ladies - thank you all for coming!

L-R: Jessica (sis-in-law - mother of the crazy, fun Zoe & Emily), Amy (sweet, dear old friend - met back in our Interstate days! - 5 months preggers and looks amazing), Donna (another good friend, used to work her at Rivers Club - can't wait to hear about her new job), me holding sweet Baby A.J., and Emily (oldest, bestest friend in the whole wide world)

We made a mess of the joint, but it was all about the fun!

Emily got to show off Sweet Baby A.J. The girls were very attentive to the sleeping baby boy.

Best part of the day???
Yum!
