My Trip to The City of Champions

PITTSBURGH! Last week I flew up to Pittsburgh to see the family. I visited with my grandma, cousins, Aunts and Uncles. I got all my Pittsburgh food favorites, my chicken noodle soup, many Italian Hoagies and all the mint Ginger Ale I could drink. Made my way to Kennywood, went to The Meadows Casino (everyday), and celebrated my Aunt Janet's 50th birthday. I even went to BINGO one evening and ended up winning the Jackpot at the end of the night. We went down to the Strip district were I got my Pens gear and checked out the new arena they are building for my boy Sid. All in all a great trip to Pitt. I love that all the people up there are such die-hard Pittsburgh fans. I'm so used to when I see anyone in Atlanta wearing a Steelers or Penguins t-shirt to saying something to them, when I'm back in Pittsburgh I have to remind myself not to say anything. So here are a few pictures from my trip.


This is where I pay homage to the great Franco Harris
