Richard & Rachel Visit

We had visitors! Yay! Richard and Rachel came for a long weekend visit. They flew in Thursday afternoon and went home today. We had a really great time. They were a nice reminder of home. Unfortunately, we didn't have the best weather. Mostly cloudy and rainy at times. At least it wasn't in the 20's the whole time! Mostly 50's. We started the visit with a good view of the city. Between Richard's GPS and mine, we finally found the "best view" of Pittsburgh. 


We also had an interesting adventure at the Carnegie Science Museum. We played around, saw an IMAX show... and  a few other things...

We were able to board an old submarine they have in the river behind the museum. It was very interesting since Jon used to be a frequent visitor on the subs for work. I felt very bad for him after seeing the conditions. No space! And it stunk like nothing else...

So here is Richard. With his shirt still down... He's riding this crazy contraption at the science museum. He was brave to give it a try. Rachel tried it as well and did awesome! They both completely flipped, which looked really hard to do!

We also had dinner with some Pittsburgh friends of ours, and went to a game night with some other people. I think they got the full "Pittsburgh experience". Hopefully they had a good time and weren't too bored... We sure enjoyed having them. There are more pictures posted in the slideshow, so take a look!
