President's Day in Pittsburgh

Alex spent his extended holiday weekend in Pittsburgh!  You don't even have to guess what I was doing instead :(  Alex had a great time with Emily and Frank, as usual, and was able to hang out downtown and visit Phipps Conservatory.  It is a long drive over to Pittsburgh, but the end result is always worth it :)

  

  

Pretty flowers downtown

This plant is called the Swiss-Cheese Plant!  Monstera deliciosa... look it up!!

 

He didn't eat the Swiss-Cheese plant :)

Super Bowl XLV

We watched the 2011 Super Bowl at Kia's apartment with some friends from school.  My favorite part was the food :)  Who knew medical students could be such great cooks!?!

       

   Some of the grub which I spent most of the game eating

  

Danielle picked the closest score and won prize money!

Philadelphia Museum of Art

Alex and I went to the Philadelphia Museum of Art today!  The first Sunday of every month, the admission fee is whatever you feel like paying (which is really nice when you are not rolling in the dough).  We have lived in Philly a year and a half and we were finally able to visit the museum!!  It was nice spending the morning looking at art :)
