Gluttony & Monkeys

We spent Thanksgiving with my family in Pittsburgh and had incredible amounts of turkey, stuffing, beer, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, and some other things. The afternoon and evening was spent at my cousin Eric's house. He has a boxer/rotweiler mix who Robby just fell in love with (go figure). The kids were all a bit nervous at first but by the end of the day they were letting him lick their faces and feeding him from the table. His name is Monroe:


After dinner we headed to Melissa's house to crash... which we did successfully. We woke up this morning with nothing planned so we decided to head to Eat 'n Park for breakfast. If you have not experienced the Eat 'n Park breakfast buffet you are missing out on life. Man... I miss E&P and I hope that they, someday, expand east of Harrisburg. All of the kids ate for free and I had unlimited eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, fruit, french toast, waffles... and following Thanksgiving Dinner - I probably weigh an extra 10 pounds...

Then we headed off to the Pittsburgh Zoo with Aunt Melissa and Uncle Justin. BTW - I've been to Pittsburgh twice in the past several months and last time we went to the Children's Museum for free on our reciprical membership to the Garden State Discovery Museum - and today we went to the PGH Zoo for free b/c of our membership to the Philly Zoo. I love it! Anyway there were some cute baby elephants that the kids liked to watch and the polar bears were putting on a show for us today.


I'm sure you all find this enthralling - I'm just trying to get back into the habit of writing more regularly... and if you don't like what I'm writing about... click away from this page...

until next time!
