I've totally meant to update this more often, but because I was off all last week, we did a lot of traveling, and I didn't set up my mobile VOXing abilities until just NOW, so its made it kind of difficult.

We were all over this past week.  Last Wednesday we drove to Virginia and dropped some stuff off at Chuck's sister's house, and then went to Virginia Beach for the afternoon.  So nice, glad I got to go to the beach this year.

We were supposed to go to Six Flags on Thursday, but it rained, so we didn't.

Saturday morning we left for Pittsburgh.  My stepmom paid for the whole family to drive there and stay in a hotel so we could go to the Pirates vs. Cardinals game on Saturday night.  The Cardinals lost, and Chuck was really, really sick.  He suddenly developed a sinus infection, and spent 80% of the weekend wiping his nose.  Poor guy.  I told my parents that I was so sorry my boyfriend was so snotty, that the next time we take him away somewhere, I'll make sure he adjusts his attitude before we leave.  Everyone got a kick out of that.  I know, I'm hilarious.

So I finally got to see PNC Park.  I've worked for PNC for a little over a year now, and it was neat to see the home office.  You could see the main PNC building from our seats in the park.  I spent a good 20 minutes trying to convince my step-brother that my office was on the 115th floor, but to no avail.  That 8 year old is too smart for me to mess with.

We got lost at one point coming into the city and found this place where you can stand and look over the whole city.  I got some nice shots of Heinz field, and Chuck has the bragging rights to being able to say that he blew his nose while overlooking the city of Pittsburgh.

So we got back on Sunday, and we are officially sick of driving.  No more driving for the rest of the summer.  Well, for me.  Chuck has to drive to New York tomorrow.  And I'm back to work now, and officially stressed the hell out.  Way too much to catch up on.

So there's a slight update.  I have to go get ready for work now and drop Chuck's prescription off at the pharmacy.  Poor guy is still sick, so I made him go to the doctor's last night.  Men can be so stubborn.

Hopefully I'll have some time tonight to post some of my pictures from Pittsburgh.
