Experience Birthdays


Chalk Wall Menu. Always changing
Last Saturday (9/24) we celebrated my 25th birthday. Shawn doesn't like to give gifts for birthdays. He prefers to give experiences. Meaning, we go somewhere and do something. Last year we went to NYC and saw Mary Pops on Broadway, the year before that Niagara Falls, the year before that NYC for Spamalot (we also got engaged that time).

Soo, needless to say, this year was no different. We decided to stay local and go see Wicked at the Benedum in Pittsburgh, and then dinner at Salt of the Earth , found in humble Garfield. This trendy food spot is nothing less than an  eccentric food lover's dream. I'll let the pictures do the talking....
