a walk in pittsburgh

I've been meaning to post these pictures from my trip to Pittsburgh with my mom last month. I loved walking around the neighborhood my mom grew up in and hearing the stories of her childhood friends and all their adventures. It was also a beautiful fall day! The colors of the leaves in these bright hues of orange, yellow and red were unbelievably gorgeous. Fall on the west coast is not nearly as nice!

 

I hope you all have a great weekend! I have absolutely no plans, which is actually kind of nice!

grandma's 86th

So last Thursday my mom and I flew to Pittsburgh to celebrate my Grandma's 86th birthday! The last time we saw each other was when she came to visit in February, but it has been awhile since I've been out to PA. I think it meant a lot to her that my mom and I were there and she kept saying, "I can't believe you all are making such a fuss over my birthday." I think it's important, though, to celebrate birthdays no matter what age you are. Sometime we don't take the time to let people know how much their lives mean to us. My mom, my aunt, and I made a big dinner for her and we got a cake from a bakery she likes! It was a short trip but totally worth it!

Happy Birthday Grandma Nana!
