Mike's birthday was last Saturday. We went away for the weekend and had a great time in Pittsburgh. Friday evening we met my Mom and Dad, and Mike's old roommate and his wife at the baseball game (used our free tickets). Saturday we went to the new casino on the North Shore with a friend of ours (Mike and I both won a little bit of money) and then went Swing Dancing Saturday night. Sunday we went to my old church on the Northside (Allegheny Center Alliance Church) - the service was great and we also ran into one of my roommates and her husband - it was great to see them. For lunch we ate at Max's Allegheny Tavern, an authentic German restaurant with a buy one entree get one free coupon from Tropicana Rewards . One of my favorite things about the city is the variety of places to eat. After a drive past the new Children's Hospital (my place of employment 11 years ago) and a tour through Aspinwall past our old apartment with a quick stop at Cold Stone Creamery for Mike's free birthday ice cream, we headed home. There's always so many great things to do in Pittsburgh. It was a great weekend. Special thanks, again, to Steve and Amy for their hospitality. Hope you enjoyed your birthday weekend as much as I did, Mike!

Sounds like a good weekend and great birthday. What kind of cake was that? Yummy.
I'd like to try that German Restaurant. What did you have to eat?
Pork with red sour cabbage and German potato salad. It wasn't as good as the way we make it - maybe too ethnic...but it was fun.
Enjoyed the pirate game even though they lost. Hope Mike enjoyed the "birthday weekend".
Sounds like a busy but fun weekend. Sorry we didn't see ya! Hope you enjoyed every second!!!!
