Pittsburgh

This past weekend we went to Pittsburgh to watch a couple Mets games. Its a very beautiful city, although it smells funny walking through the streets! (Steam coming from the manholes, lol)

There were about 14 of us that had tickets for the Saturday night game.
I was really impressed with the number of Mets fans vs. the number Pirates fans since it was their stadium! This picture was taken on the Clipper, a ferry that takes you from Station Square directly to PNC Park for the games. It could carry approx. 400 people on its three stories. We stood on the third story because it made you a little queesy inside the enclosed banquet rooms =)This is where we had lunch on Sunday! Boy was it ever some GREAT Italian food. They had over 3500 pictures on the walls to look at and a table in the kitchen where you could watch them prepare your food. It was an Italian restaurant like in the movies. The hostess even told you history on the place as you walked up the never ending flights of stairs to get to the third floor where we were seated! Their serving sizes of food was either small or large, small feeds 2-4 people and large feeds 6+.
This is Johan Santana, one of the two pitchers Kim was really excited about seeing pitch in person. The other was the pitcher from Saturday night, Pedro Martinez.
Mets win both games!!!!
It was really fun and we plan to go back and do it again next year. Maybe Jerzie will be old enough to enjoy it too although it was nice to take a weekend vacation with friends and no kiddies!
