Barack Obama chooses Joe Biden for veep

WASHINGTON - The Associated Press has learned that Delaware Senator Joe Biden is Barack Obama’s choice to be his vice presidential running mate.
The 65-year-old Biden is a veteran of more than three decades in the Senate, and one of his party’s leading experts on foreign policy, an area in which polls indicate Obama needs help in his race against Republican rival John McCain.
The official who spoke did so on condition of anonymity, saying they did not want to pre-empt a text-message announcement the Obama campaign promised for Saturday morning.

Pittsburgh

Sister after the show

Mom and me on the second day

OK so that is just a mediocre picture of myself but I took a picture of myself like this with downtown Seattle behind me and I had to try to recreate it here :)

We walked past the cutest knitting store on Sunday and it, like everything else in downtown Pittsburgh, is closed on Sunday... booo!!!

"Coffee fries" from Six Penn... thinly sliced potatoes with lime juice, salt and pepper and coffee grinds!! They were AMAZING!

The most expensive tomato soup and grilled cheese I ever got at brunch

look at those lovely Patterson ladies! :)

This is how we look when we take pictures...

and this is how we look the rest of the time :)

Pittsburgh was great! Now on to Philly!!!!!!

I did forgo my vegetarian status for this cultural experience... it was ok. The meat was greasy and I didn't care for the fakey cheese topping... but apparently its not authentic without that?
