Pittsburgh


The weekend before Christmas, my husband and I travelled to Pittsburgh to celebrate his birthday.  He'd never been to Pittsburgh before and since we're both Steelers fans, for his birthday I surprised him with tickets to a Steelers game.  (Other surprise here.)  He picked the Dec 23rd game against the Browns.  They lost, but we'll gloss over that part...


After opening the package when the tickets came in the mail.

After visiting family, we stopped back at the top of Mt. Washington at night.

 
Bundled up for the game!

    1. True, we had a great time... it's unfortunate they didn't win, but they just didn't have a great season. Guess there's always next year. And maybe that's an excuse to go back.

    1. I have to be honest, all the ones from the top of the incline were ones my husband took. He's better with the camera than I am. :) Thanks for the well wishes!

    1. You should! It's a great city. It was really cold when we went and I'm sure there's more to do when it's warmer weather!

    1. We had a blast. That'd be a great gift for your dad! I've told my husband he should do a Steelers game with his dad.

  7. Hooray Pittsburgh! I lived there until six months ago, and it is my absolute favorite city! Still go back at least once a month (to visit my boyfriend). Glad you guys enjoyed the wonderful city!

    1. My mom is originally from there, so it was nice because we got to visit some of my family when we went. It's such a great city. My husband had never been, so we did some of the touristy stuff. I'd love to go back when it's not freezing cold and do more stuff outside. I'm sure there's plenty of stuff to do in the other seasons. Would love any suggestions you have for future trips!
