Black and Yellow

Are you ready for some FOOTBALL?

We got tickets for a Steelers preseason game! I got the tickets online and didn't really know where our tickets were. I knew what section and knew we were close to the field, home side, about 35 yd line.....

But I had no clue we were FRONT ROW!!

Talk about great seats!! Not only were we front row, but we happened to be RIGHT over the stairs where the players went down to the locker room! We had great seats! It was so much fun to be part of the crazy crowd and cheer the winning team on!

FRONT ROW!!

Happy Fans

So close to the action

Exploring Pennsylvania

This year I have gotten to see quite a bit a Pennsylvania. Although our living situation has been a little CRAZY, I have been able to do some interesting sight seeing! We stayed in Johnstown, PA for a week. Their Claim to Fame is the Johnstown Incline. It is apparently the steepest of its kind.

We weren't too far from Shanksville, PA. It is where the 4th plane on September 11th crashed. Flight United 93 was hijacked by 4 terrorists. It crashed in a field outside of Shanksville in an attempt by some of the passengers to regain control. I learned a lot about this event and am proud to honor those that died that day trying to prevent even more devastation.

I also, drove up to State College, PA. My cousin and her family live there and I got to see their house and visit with them and their adorable kids! My brother also drove down from NY for a weekend visit. I got a tour of the town, ate some yummy food, and had a BBQ at Whipple Dam. Unfortunately I only took a pic of 1 thing....see below.

Let's hear it for New York!!

All of us Hanna girls took an AWESOME vacay to NYC!!!!

We had a great time. Lots of walking, sightseeing, shopping, eating, pictures, more walking, and more eating! We stayed right in times square and made it to most the normal tourist sights. We ate at some yummy places, but my favorite would have to be TONY Di Napoli's. It is a yummy family style Italian place :)

I wish we could have stayed longer. Hopefully we will get to do it again soon!
