We got some great weather this weekend, so we got to spend a lot of time enjoying the backyard and taking our weekend visitors around to some of our favorite places in Pittsburgh.
Jen (pictured below) flew in for the weekend, and Amy dropped by Saturday afternoon, so we enjoyed a lovely afternoon of sun basking in our rapidly growing garden, and a walk down Murray Ave for lunch and chocolates. Later that evening we enjoyed a sushi feast at Sakura on Forbes.
Sunday we took Jen around our standard Pittsburgh tour for first-time visitors. Above, Jen is enjoying the view of downtown from Mt. Washington. We stopped at Market Square (which is unfortunately in construction disarray), and toured Phipps Conservatory after lunch at the cafe.
The gargoyle exhibit made it that much more amusing.

Foot sore and feeling peckish, we decided to try a new-to-us ice cream shop in Shadyside called Oh Yeah! which features mix-ins and vegan soy creams. details are on the menu:
Our glorious weekend ended with dinner at the Silk Elephant and the best sleep I've had in awhile.
