Jeff & Mal: Memorial Day

As Memorial Day approached Jeff and I couldn't decide what we should do for the holiday. The weather was supposed to be hit or miss and we felt like we needed to do something outside to celebrate the holiday and to celebrate the beginning of summer. Well as luck would have it, the Pittsburgh Pirates were playing at home on Memorial Day! We sat around for awhile that morning watching the weather before deciding to finally go to Pittsburgh. The Pirates were going to be playing the Chicago Cubs.

We arrived in Pittsburgh and parked at Station Square after a frustrating drive in Pittsburgh. I was so excited that we were back at Station Square and we could re-visit "the spot" where Jeff made me the happiest girl in the world! Before visiting that spot, we had a game to attend! We caught the last shuttle on the Gateway Clipper from Station Square to Heinze Field for the game. While were standing at the ticket booth buying our tickets, a stranger came up to us and handed us a ticket for free. The man said he had an extra and thought we might like it. Well it turned out that the ticket was in the club level seating and we were able to get a matching ticket in the same section for cheaper than we could have bought two tickets in the regular section. It was definitely our lucky day!

We headed into the club seating and were amazed! If you ever have a chance to get inside the club seats in Pittsburgh for a Pirates game, we recommend it! We were able to escape the rain showers inside and were able to head back out when the showers stopped. The Pirates won the game 2-1! It was an entertaining game! We had a blast!

After the game, we caught the Gateway Clipper back to Station Square and had dinner at Bucca di Beppo and then visited "the spot"! It was a beautiful night filled with great food, good sports and each other!

Here are some pictures from our little Pittsburgh adventure...
