Beer We Go Trip!
This 2017 Pittsburgh trip was one of our best! We had a bumpy start to our long drive. We ended up leaving at 3:15 and not checking into our hotel until around 1 am. We stayed at the lovely Homewood Suites on Smallman St, in downtown Pittsburgh. On Saturday, we went too many different sights on Day one of the Pittsburgh trip. We first went to the Robinson Mall and went into the Total Sports Enterprise shop, which was cool. There were all kinds of photos, jerseys, clothing, keychains, etc.
We then went to our annual trip to the History Center and browsed through the various exhibits, such as, Charlie the Tuna Fish, The Penguins 50 years in Pittsburgh, and all the other various sports and historical exhibits. We all then went down to “The Strip” and shopped and my mom and i got matching shirts. We also went to Peppi’s for lunch and my mom and I had a the Santucci.
After shopping, we went to church at the Saint Stanislaus Church off the Strip district. After church we returned to the Strip for a few last minute items. The trip next took us to Point State Park and took some pictures of the sunset and the city late at night.
Dinner was next and we went to Primanti Bros on Market Square! I had Corned Beef and cheese. The dinner was great and a must for us every time we are in Pittsburgh. After we ate we went to the Milkshake Factory where I had a cookie dough fudge milkshake, which was very good! We went back to the hotel and hit the hay as we prepared for the big game tomorrow!
On Sunday, we woke up had some hotel breakfast and got fired up for the game! We went to two awesome tailgates. We went to the Terrible Bra and Grille Tailgate and we met up with Captain Tailgate and we hung out at the tailgate throwing around the football and having something to eat!
We then went to another tailgate with some friends my parents know in the Burgh until gametime. They had great music by DJ Ross and a Truck with a TV in it. We sat in section 523 with Captain Tailgate and our parents sat in section 524. We also sat in the front row and jammed out, cheered, and even taunted a few Bengal fans as well.
Also during the third quarter Renegade came on and the crowd went crazy. We swung our terrible towels high and proud during those three minutes. After Renegade finished Bud Dupree made a terrific sack which backed the Bengals up and caused them to punt on fourth down.
During the second half we fake punted which most certainly worked in our favor. We hiked the ball to Rob Golden and he chucked it in the air to DHB for the first down. We also had numerous sacks throughout the whole game. We ended up winning that game 29-14, and it was a great one. After the game we had to say goodbye to Captain Tailgate and we waited for our Uber. We then went to Primanti’s again for dinner but this time I had the Pittsburgher which was delicious!
Then we went back to the hotel and slept in preparation for the long drive on Monday morning.
Overall this Pittsburgh trip was great and unforgettable and we had an awesome time. Until next time
Root Beer We Go,
- Little Miss Tailgate
BEER WE GO STEELERS, BEER WE GO!
My “GAME BEER” goes to: I am going off script here and going with Roosevelt Nix. Nix absolutely creamed Vontaze Burfict and drove him crazy all game, with Burfict kicking him at one point. At the end of the game Burfict refused to shake hands. Also Considered: Le’Veon Bell for a terrific day. The Offensive line who grinded out the game and allowed no sacks.
Where I watched the game: At Heinz Field baby! Me, my beloved KGB, The Tailgate Kids and BWG President Tom Janicki! We hit two different Tailgates, one the BEER WE GO, HOME TAILGATE at the Terrible Bra and Grill, we then went to a wild tailgate with our friend Bridget Stalker! They had great music, food and terrific crowd.
My Stat of the week: Eight Different Receivers! Ben Roethlisberger hit eight different receivers and did a terrific job as he continues to get his season back on track.
My Thoughts on next week: The Steelers face an inferior road team with the BYE week in front of us. Stop me if you have heard this before. I think the Steelers break the streak!
This week’s Jersey: Joe Greene #75 Home Black, which is my “Gamer”!
