I believe the last time I visited Pittsburgh was in the fall of 1993. My wife is from King City, CA and I wanted to show her where I grew up. I have wonderful memories of growing up in Pittsburgh, but my fondest memories are of spending countless hours with friends and my German Sheppard in Frick Park.

Below are two pictures from that trip. My wife loved the fall colors and walking through Frick Park on paths covered with leaves that I spent so much time on in my youth.
