"Visiting the "Burgh"" Pittsburgh by cjg1

Pittsburgh means two things to me: good times and friends. I have friends living in this town and try to get to see them when I can. My last trip to Pittsburgh was March 2009. Liz and I decided to stop and see my friends after we were done visiting her friend in Columbus. The weather was a bit spotty, some rain and some wind but we hear that's typical Pittsburgh at this time of year.

We had a good time bar hopping and enjoying some good food. We were a little on the slow schedule since Liz had caught a pretty bad cold and was running a fever for most of the trip. She was a trooper and still managed to have a great time even with her flushed cheeks and stuffy nose.

Pittsburgh is full of things to do: museums, restaurants, bars, gardens, parks and sporting events. It's an easy city to navigate and great to explore on foot. Every time I'm in Pittsburgh I discover something new.

When I think of Pittsburgh I think of good friends. Jim and Tenille live here and they are the reason why I visit Pittsburgh. I hadn't been around to see them in some time so the March 2009 trip was eagerly anticipated. It's was great for us to spend time with them bar hopping and exploring Pittsburgh.
