Pittsburgh Weekend

This past weekend we went to Pittsburgh to visit Ben's brother, Adam, and his fiance, Brigette.  Adam and Brigette are two of our favorite people, and they come to visit us often.  So we switched it up a bit and went for a visit in their neck of the woods.  I've only been to Pittsburgh a handful of times and most of them are football game related, so it was fun to spend the weekend enjoying the city and seeing Brigette and Adam's favorite places.

Friday afternoon we got into town and Ben and I walked around a bit and then met Adam at his apartment.  After work, Brigette came and met us and we all went to dinner at Brigette's favorite restaurant-  Park Brugge.  This place was so good and hidden inside a little neighborhood.  You must try it if you visit Pittsburgh.

After dinner we drove back to the apartment and left the car and headed out on foot to a bar called Hemingway's Cafe.  On our way to Hemingway's we passed by the Cathedral of Learning on the Pitt Campus.  If you are ever in Pittsburgh, you really need to go by the Cathedral of Learning.  It is beautiful inside!!!

Also on our way to Hemingway's, we stopped by the Pitt Panther and snagged some photos.

At Hemingway's cafe we enjoyed some adult cocktails and some delicious tater tots.  

After Hemingway's Cafe, we walked back to the apartment and the boys enjoyed a few video games.  I know they don't get to play video games with each other (pretty much ever) so Brigette and I enjoyed watching them have fun with some old school games (and brotherly rivarly).

On Saturday morning, we got up and hung around the apartment for a bit.  After that we walked to Pamela's Diner for THE BEST pancakes I have ever had in my entire life.  If you can eat anywhere while you are in Pittsburgh, make it breakfast and make it Pamela's Diner (just know it's cash only).
On our way to the diner, I snagged a few more pictures of beautiful Pittsburgh...

 

Thank you Adam and Brigette for a wonderful visit.  We had a fabulous time!
