We hadn't been into the Burgh since July of 2009 due to how I felt the first trimester and the many blizzards of 2010 throughout Pennsylvania. We chose a weekend at the end of April for my baby shower and hoped nothing would get in our way to making the trip. There were predictions of horrible thunderstorms throughout our drive, but we seemed to miss them all until we entered South Park, PA. It was like a war zone as we drove up the road leading to my parents' neighborhood. Trees were down everywhere due to the strong winds and rain. The entire town of Pittsburgh had been impacted with down wires and no electricity, but we headed to my Grandma's anyway to enjoy a dinner with family. Like the rest of the city, her dining hall also was impacted by the storm so our food was cold and there was not much of it to be eaten. Even though we all left hungry, we headed up to my Grandma's apartment and enjoyed catching up with everyone under candle light.
