Post turkey day lag

Sadly I'm no longer blogging from cool Pennsylvania.


The days of good food, awesome people, new sightseeing are over :(
It was a very enjoyable vacation that started with a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong 8 hour ride there. It was probably more since Ohio decided to throw some traffic jams and see how we handle it, and once we overcame the Ohio challenge, Penn decided to snow on us.
However we made it, we passed the individual state tests and we made it in one piece and a car smelling like curly fries (better than starving).
I have a mixed up timing in my head for the specific activities for each day (Wednesday, Thursday and Friday) so until the girl clarifies I'll give you a brief summary of the experiences in not the exact time table as they happen.

The Incline. A trip up the mountains that surround the rivers of Pittsburgh.

we later went to see a first glance of Pittsburgh downtown where we found an insane amount of ginger bread houses followed by contemplating ice skating people in hopes of some people falling.

Mad Mex with a meeting the Father who saved the day with his mighty phone GPS that got us back on track after a small detour. I miss my GPS :(
Anyways dinner was good, at least mine :P and I get to hear her sister random spanish sentences and his father tales of amazing camping.

Turkey day was at the mom's house with a twenty something pound turkey which I'm still eating, followed by a desert party at a Italian neighbor friend who made the most magnifiscent deserts and let me play with two cute puppies who work in tandem to be petted, as the smallest one stands on top of the bigger one so I can reach him :)

A visit to the zoo, zoo, zoo, how about you, you you.
Petable Kangaroos decided to not come out until global warming makes winter weather more like Australian summer. Guess I'll have to come another time. However the mesmerizing display of medusas was hypnotizing.


Melting Pot to meet family friends, who interestingly one of them seem a grown up version of still childish silly me.

And finally the trip back home. I think we made a good time as I was told to slow down several times :P

All was good, all is well, I can't wait to go back home and keep on working with the leftover.
