The Burgh

Spent the weekend in PA for Rich and Monica's wedding. Here's a quick recap on the highlights:

• Seven hours in the car with the parents and Frankie to go to Pittsburgh
• Over two hours of that on the way there was spent in traffic
• Going through the mountains and hearing mom say "Look how pretty the trees are"
• Going through the mountains and hearing dad say "Yeah the trees are f#ck&ng beautiful, how much longer"
• Watching the Mets win and the Yankees lose
• Driving an hour to the church from the hotel
• Trying to cross a highway to get to the church from the parking lot and waiting for the walk sign to change through three rounds of lights in each direction before thinking hmmmm maybe the walk sign doesn't work
• Finding out you not in Pittsburgh after all, you're in Greensburg, PA
• Getting drunk and golfing with your brother at the country club after the reception (at midnight in high heels--me not him)
• Realizing you're golfing at midnight in heels and that there are now very large holes in the putting green--whoops!
• Getting back in the car to drive seven hours home

Yes, the weekend was quite eventful, but we did have fun. It was great to see Rich and Monica since we haven't seen them since they moved to Hong Kong in the Spring. Grace was a beautiful flower girl and the wedding was lovely. They added lots of Asian flair too--lanterns for centerpieces, fortune cookie favors and beautiful dresses that Monica had made in Hong Kong. And today they hop back on a plane to go home. We hope to see them soon.
