Exploring Pittsburgh

The boys and I had such a great time exploring the Strip District last Saturday morning with my friend. Leslie, who was visiting from out of town that we decided to make another trip down there this morning with Jason along this time. We got some good coffee at one of the cute, little cafes as well as some yummy goodies from The Biscotti Co. Then we just walked around and explored the shops and stores all along the strip. After we were done in the Strip District, we took a long drive through several really neat Pittsburgh neighborhoods including Lawrenceville (where the new children's hospital is located), Bloomfield, and Highland Park. The last stop on our morning journey around Pittsburgh was at Frankie's Hot Dog Shop which was first introduced to us by Pastor Barry when Jason and I first visited here over 6 years ago. We love exploring Pittsburgh and look forward to exploring all the places we haven't gotten to see yet!!!

Really funny picture of The Stink. He has started leaning toward the camera when we take pictures of him so we have been getting a lot of blurry pictures lately.:0)
