pittsburgh

Last weekend, we decided to take a little road trip to Pittsburgh. It is only 2 hours southeast of us and claims the closest IKEA. Worth a little trip, right? We loaded up the car, kids were super excited, and we met our friends in our drive-way.

As we got closer to Pittsburgh, the snow started falling..... and kept falling steadily all night long. We woke up to over 20 inches of snow! It was crazy, we had to dig our car out and thought for sure there was no way we were getting home. I was glad I had everything prepared, snow clothes, extra food, etc. in the car. We did make it home and once we got out of Pitt. the roads were dry and bare.... mostly. :)

Apart from the snow, we had an awesome time and tons of fun! We played games, laughed a lot, and had lots of good snacks! It will be a very memorable trip, standing at our hotel window watching the snow fall all night long, calming down the kids every time the power went out, and trying to find a restaurant open the next day.... ahhh, it was a trip full of great memories!

The very lovely snow, view from out our window.
Luckily, this is what the day started like. As we drove a little ways, it was bright and sunny and really pretty from the fresh snow. I was glad we didn't drive in this (above) all day long!
