My blog n'at

I’ve been waiting to get to this part of the day. We’re driving back on the Parkway East which is always a nightmare. I don’t care what you people say who live out there, it’s a engineering nightmare of road. Our next stop was the Waterfront for dinner. The Parkway was backed up for 5 miles so we jumped off, took some back roads and hopped on 837 in North Versailles. We start driving and 30 minutes in realize we must have missed a turn. We start calling friends for directions and needless to say we ended up 45 minutes from town. After 2 hours of driving we realized what happened. Some jagoff stole the sign for 837 where we were supposed to turn. The post was there as was the arrow but no route number. Stupid yinzers.

We finally arrive at the Waterfront and head to Red Hot and Blue for a “southern style dinner”. I’m usually skeptical about local places that boast about bbq because everyone I’ve had has been OK at best. We get to our booth and admire the dedication the store has to local jazz and blues (plus in my book). The beer selection? It’s decent. I had soem Great Lakes on draft so I was content. The food? Just LOOK at that picture up there! Ribs were fantastic and the brisket was hands down the best I’ve had. Guys, if you’re not a grass eater this place is a must. It’s meat heaven. Ladies, take your men there!

We wrapped up dinner and walked around the Waterfront stores before heading back. It was a perfect day to be offline and take a walk. Overall we had a great day besides our asses going numb from driving in circles but it was just the 2 of us which is how we wanted it.

There’s not much more to tell you about for days 3 and 4 except that we ran errands, watched some TV and ran more errands.

This weekend is Emerson’s wedding so you can bet that there will be some great stories from that one coming!

cheers!
