Last weekend Jayme and I went to her hometown of Pittsburgh. Now Pittsburgh was named after William Pitt (Dad: Older or younger??) and was home to the American steel industry before it collapsed. It has a negative reputation as a tough, gritty, blue collar town largely due to its industrial background. This however couldn't be further from the truth, its actually my favorite place I've been to in the States. It has a great sporting history, the American Football team is the most successful ever and the ice hockey team is currently in the finals.
The city is at the meeting point of three rivers the Monongahela, Allegheny, and Ohio and is known as the city of bridges. Check it all out here: http://www.city.pittsburgh.pa.us/
Anyway we were there for Jayme's dad's (Rich) 60th birthday. There were three parts to the surprise, number one was that he didn't know Jayme was coming into town! The second part was that he wasn't expecting Jayme's brother Wade to come to town!
After this Wade and I had the job of getting him to the bar where Jayme and her mum (Joan) had got friends and family together. It was a great time!
Couple of pics here to look at:
