Anyways, I think I celebrated 22 the right way. Max and I went to the Pittsburgh Zoo and PPG Aquarium! It was amazing; I missed the zoo, and Max had never been there! My family used to have a membership when I was growing up, so nostalgia probably influenced my decision to go there, but it was such a wonderful decision!
Me with the elephants!!!
Max with his favorite animal-lemurs!
I was very disappointed when I saw that the Komodo dragon had died, as he was one of my favorite animals! But I very much enjoyed the elephants (of course I did!), and the baby gorilla was delightful! The aquarium is always a wonderful place too, with all the colorful beauty that exists underwater!

After getting some cookies and cream Dippin' Dots ice cream on the way back to the car, we went home and baked a Romanian sweet bread for my internship showing of a Romanian film entitled Best Intentions the next day. The bread smelled delicious, but alas we did not get to try any of it! :( But all was well, as we didn't spoil our appetite for dinner!
For dinner, we ventured over to the North Side for Thai food at Nicky's Thai Kitchen. It was some of the most incredible Thai food I've ever had!! Major thanks to my co-worker who suggested it! We got the spiciest Tom Yum soup ever, and it was AMAZING! I also got spicy basil fried rice with lump crab meat, and it was phenomenal. I'd definitely go back ASAP.
After dinner, we went back to the house to dress-up and get ready to go to Static Nightclub in the Strip District to dance the night away! I had a brand new dress from Forever 21 that I had been waiting to wear to Static. We got a private table, and we got to see all of our friends who weren't attending beforehand, when they came over to our house to help us pregame! It was a great night, even though my feet killed me afterwards!

22 is bound to be a great year, and I can't wait to see what will unfold!
