Happy Anniversary and more Pittsburgh firsts...

This month has been busy and it's not even over yet!  We've had a lot of Pittsburgh firsts this month.  Craig and I celebrated our 32nd wedding anniversary on the 15th.  I know everybody says it, but I can't believe it's been that long.  We went up to the top of Mount Washington and had a fabulous dinner at Altius.  Here was the view from our table:


We started with delicious cocktails and their charcuterie.

 We each got to choose what type of bread we wanted and the assorted toppings were fantastic.  Craig had the Chanterelle Ravioli and I had the scallop special.  We finished with a beautiful dessert.  We had a great experience.  The server was wonderful and we would definitely recommend them for a special occasion. 

I'm so lucky that I've spent most of my life with this man.  We have been blessed with a wonderful family and wonderful friends.

We've also attended our first Pitt football game.  Our nephew, Steven, plays for the University of Virginia.  We had a great time with his parents, Curtis & Kim.  Kim's brothers and their families also came up for the game.   We had dinner at Jerome Bettis' Grille and Jerome was there hanging out in the back. 


UVA held their pregame tailgate party on a Gateway Clipper ship.  That was a first for us too.

Although UVA came up short, it was a good game and a fun time!

One of our favorite places in Pittsburgh is the Phipps Conservatory.  The fall flower show is now open and as always, the show is beautiful.  Here are a few shots from the show.








We have enjoyed breakfast at Bartram House Bakery.  They have great everyday items and daily specials along with beautiful bakery items.  We tried the cranberry walnuts pancakes and they were delicious.


Fall in Pittsburgh is at its peak and the leaves are gorgeous.  We are looking forward to seeing all the kids and their costumes on Halloween.  Have a fun and safe Halloween!
