Hello From Pittsburgh

Yesterday was my first full day in Pittsburgh.  I have only crossed the Mason Dixon line a few times in my life, and I definitely never had a reason to come here before now.  So far, I love the city.  It is beautiful and huge!
We ate some typical (At least what I consider typical of northern food) at Primanti Brothers...sandwiches with slaw and fries on it.  This is also where Kari and I discovered that our worlds have collided before triathlon, as we spent our New Years Eve 2000 in the same place. 
 
We spent the day at the Natural History Museum.
A little known fact- I had a cat when I was maybe a 5-year-old that I named "Alex"sauras.  What kid doesn't name their pets after dinosaurs? He was named after Allosaurus, pictured above.  But, when I was a kid, I thought it was pronounced with an Alex.   Anyways, I always have to get a picture made with the real "Alex"saurus whenever I see one.
Every good museum has a T-Rex!
This was Kari's favorite exhibit!  LOL!
And we ended the night hanging out with another sweet blogger, Anne Marie!  She is doing IM Arizona in a few short weeks!  Good luck!!!

Gotta go- off to a Steelers game with Kari!
