More renovations

We just installed Hickory hardwood floors in the living room, kitchen, dining room, entryway, and Hallway upstairs. It was a lot of work and a little frustration but the job is mostly done and it looks awesome. We just have the little stuff left like filling in some nail holes and finishing up around the doors etc....

Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh

The flight from the twin cities to Atlanta for our connect back to Pittsburgh was fairly unaventful, which is good. We did a good job picking seats that had a window that made it easy to look out.

Because we are cheep we booked our flights on Airtran, which had us going all the way down to Atlanta to get back to Pittsburgh. I think a direct flight would have been at least an hour less in flight time. No big deal, because Andrea and I don't get a chance to fly very often and it gave us a chance to see another city even if it was only from inside the airport.

Although there seemed like a large crown waiting at the gate, the plan was not very full and towards the back where we sat there were quite a few empty seats.

Picture out our windown as we started to taxi down to the runway.

Starting to line up for take-off.

We are finally settled in! Check back for more pictures and accounts from our trip.
