Sunday, March 9

A lovely Saturday. Andrew, the kids, and I went to the Strip this morning to shop at Posman, get some food at Penn Mac and Wholey's, and have lunch at the Novo Food Hall. Always fun to spend some time down there. 

Lucia and I finished the grocery shopping at Giant Eagle, then Andrew and Lucia went for a run. At four, Mom and Dad came for a visit and dinner. We showed them the collapsed retaining wall, and Andrew made pizzas in the Ooni for dinner. We all told travel stories while we ate because Lucia said she had an assignment to interview someone, and she wanted to ask about traveling. All of us have an amazing roster of stories. Of course, typical teen, Lucia refused all of our tales (scornfully, wearily) and instead chose Greta to tell her the story of falling out of bed and needing stitches at an ER in Rome. (To be fair, this is indeed a good story.)

Later tonight, Molly and Jeremy arrived since Jeremy has to be in Pittsburgh for work tomorrow. We briefly visited before finally calling it a day.
