Things to do in Westmoreland County.

For those of you arriving early/staying late, there are many fun and cultural activities for you to enjoy in or around Westmoreland County. Mt. Pleasant is a good 1 1/2 hours from the Pittsburgh International Airport, so it would really make more sense for you to plan your day(s) in Westmoreland County rather than driving the distance back to the big, bad city.

Some suggestions:

• Take a drive out to Frank Lloyd Wright's masterpiece Fallingwater. We've actually never been to Fallingwater, (though we've been meaning to), so do drop us a line and let us know how you enjoyed it!
• Whether you have kids with you or you want to enjoy an afternoon with your sweetheart, Idlewild Park is a quaint little amusement park full of history and charm.
• The last day for the Westmoreland County Fair is the 29th (the day of our wedding), and it's actually pretty fun.
• Take in some art at the Westmoreland Museum of American Art .
• Rent a pedal boat and enjoy the natural surroundings of Twin Lakes Park.
• Soak up some rays at our favorite swimmin' hole, the historic Ligonier Beach. Beware, though-- the fresh water in the pool is COLD as it's fed from mountain springs.
  
• Toss back a few cervezas as our favorite drinking hole, Red Star Brewery.

• If all else fails, stimulate the economy a bit at Westmoreland Mall!

Place cards are finished!

I think they turned out rather nicely. Not perfect, but no DIY project ever is. The bookmarks were Cory's idea and we kind of ran with it, using the swallow/bird image from the invitations.

8 days to go!

Thank You for the Great Shower!

We wanted to write a post thanking everyone that made our shower a wonderful day. It was great to see family and friends mingling and celebrating our soon-to-be-wedding.

For those of you who could not make it, thank you for the cards-- and we can't wait to see you at the wedding!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved in making the shower run smoothly-- it was a stress-free day that we will cherish.

gorgeous view from the Hunter cottage!
