Hometown Glory

I am currently working on a small project related to a hometown sports team. During the brainstorming process, I thought that it might be interesting for the background graphic for this project to have something to do with a silhouetted view of the (gorgeous!) Pittsburgh skyline from our baseball park. This is one of my most favorite views of the city, and I really enjoyed being creative with it. So, while I finish up this project, enjoy a sneak peek- combined with a little Pittsburgh love.

Another Erie Visit
This past weekend, J and I took another one hour and forty-five minute trip north on Interstate 79 to good ol' Erie, PA. His best friend and wife were celebrating their one year anniversary this weekend, and hosted an open house in their gorgeous new home just outside of 'downtown' Erie (read: Suburbia).
The more times that I visit Erie, the more I learn to appreciate the beauty of all of the natural features that Pittsburgh lacks. Its direct proximity to the lake means that this small town boasts a shoreline filled with gorgeous harbors and numerous sailboats. I love sailboats! The community surrounding Presque Isle State Park is not only very picturesque, but also possesses an innocent charm that seems to have remained unchanged for the past 50 years. If you know what's good for you, you'll stop at Sara's Diner every.single.time and pick up one of their to-die-for orange and vanilla twist ice cream cones. This is best enjoyed sitting on the diner's patio, watching the droves of families, locals and transplanted college students cruise Peninsula Drive with their windows down on yet another hot, sunny day. Additionally, having lived in Erie for two years during college, I heard from a number of locals that the view of the sunset from Presque Isle was given the award of second best sunset in the world (first place went to Japan). How about that for a tiny, north eastern PA city?
