Does doing something for three years in a row qualify it for being a "tradition"? If so, then Marilyn and I continued a Christmas Tradition of ours today: Sunday Brunch at the Terrace Room of the William Penn Hotel in downtown Pittsburgh.
Prior to brunch, we visited the beautiful creche set up in the plaza of the US Steel Building....
Took in the lobby decorations at the Hotel...
Sadly, they just don't make hotel
lobbies like this anymore.
Had our picture taken by the nice lady who was seated next to us...
Merry Christmas, everyone!!!
And I topped of my delicious breakfast of Eggs Benedict with a traditional Christmas desert, a root beer float....
As I mentioned, this is the third year that we have done this, and it is a real treat, and as I say every year, they just don't build hotels like the William Penn, now in it's 101st year, anymore. Really classic and elegant.
This is the first year that we have done this on a Steelers Sunday, and that made for an interesting twist. The lobby filled with people decked out in Steelers gear, and not an insignificant number in Patriots gear as well. In fact, while visiting the creche at the US Steel Plaza, we took photos for a number of people who were in town from New England for today's Big Game. Very nice people and it was nice exchanging pleasantries with them. Also in the theme of a Steelers Sunday, also dining with us today in the Terrace Room, albeit not at our particular table, were Steelers Hall of Famers Franco Harris and John Stallworth.
We just love this new tradition of ours.
