Well, I thought I'd finally blog about our trip to see the Steeler game back in October. The trip there was uneventful, however we spent a lot of time driving in the Pittsburgh area finding our way in and around the city. It had been many years since Art had to drive to the Stadium or find his way to area attractions, so we had a little trouble. Actually, I should start from the beginning. We arrived at the hotel where we met some friends from Philly, Bill and Barb. We worked with Barb at Access before we moved. They were meeting us there to go to the game together the next day. It was much hotter than expected for October, so shorts were in order for stay. This was a surprise for Bill for his birthday, thought he knew about the game about a week before, he didn't know there was anyone else involved in attending the game. So, needless to say he was a little surprised to see us in the lobby of the hotel, thought he said he kind of had a clue he was meeting someone there. But all went well, and we all had a good time. It was great meeting Bill and spending time with the two of them.
We went into the city to sight see a little. We rode the Duquesne Incline, the views on top of the mountain were great, we got some awsome pictures. We had dinner at Jerome Bettis' restaurant, "Bettis Grill 36". The food was great and of course the decor was Steeler all the way.
The game the next day was fun, though a little bit too hot. We did survive thankfully, the sun wasn't on us the whole time so it wasn't unbearable. The game was great to watch, and sharing it with fellow Steeler fans made it all the better.
We said our goodbyes on Sunday night since we were leaving separately the next day. It was had to know we weren't going to see them for a while, except we have already made plans to make this a yearly event. Hopefully I won't make it so long before the next blog. Pam
