...I did with my parents this weekend

1. Went to the zoo.


2. Took in a baseball game (Bucs win! Bucs win!)



3. Rode the Duquesne incline (what a view!).

4. Celebrated by 31st birthday. Thanks, mom!

the pittsburgh "bucket list"?

(a particularly pretty spring day in Chicago last week; on our way to dim sum...yum)

It's funny, but I saw an ad on my Facebook page mentioning something about a Pgh bucket list (I hate that Facebook spies on me, by the way, but here I am spouting to the world! Hello, world!).

So, here's my list for before I leave this August (sniffle):
Andy Warhol museum
Mattress Factory
Pirates game
Falling Water
Gettysburg
bowling, again
another hot dog (or two) from Dee's
walk or two down the Strip

scandinavian love.

so clean and lovely!

magical.

I've been so busy with school lately, but we have an ACTUAL WEEK OFF. Hallelujah! I'm driving home to Chicago for a few days...
