We Found Civilization. And Crabs

I will be the first one to tell you that Hunker/New Stanton, PA is pretty much the pitts. One thing it really has going for it is that it's only 40 minutes away from Pittsburgh! New cities can be a little daunting, but luckily we had two pretty good tour guides. ;)

When my parents came down to help us get settled in our new place, they got to show us all about their old stomping grounds! Wayyyyy back when (kidding, mom!) my dad had to move to Pittsburgh for his fellowship and asked my mama to move with him. Soon after, they got engaged! Awwww! So the whole moving-to-the-Pittsburgh-area-for-doctor-things is a repeated theme in our family!

We started by heading to one of my parents' favorite places, Joe's Crab Shack!

 You might think I'd be too prissy to fight for my food, but you would be seriously impressed.  That poor king crab didn't know what it had coming!  Plus, I knew it was laughing at my bib.

After the sun set we went up on the Duquesne Incline to see the city lights from the greatest view you can get!  You take this little trolley car all the way up so once you get to the top you're looking back down and over the whole city.

 Not too shabby.

The next day, Dom had to study (sad face) so the three of us headed back in and took a Duck Tour! It was goofy and hilarious.  The Duck Tours are those tours where your car is also a boat.  So we got a tour of the city and then had a little boat ride and got to see Heinz field from the water (Sorry, Erin)!
I wish I had gotten a picture of us on that car/boat in our ponchos, but for now you'll just have to imagine.

As hard as it's going to be surviving in Hunker, knowing we have this gorgeous city at our fingertips makes it a million times better!
