We left Pittsburgh and toured a bit of Western PA. Debbie and Bob wanted to see the sight of the crash of Flight 93. It was a bit disappointing because it wasn't just a field (like it would have been if we had stopped there in 2005, 2007 or even maybe 2010) and the new memorial isn't finished yet. The Park Ranger (or volunteer) was wonderful though, explaining a lot of the work about the park. We came in from the North and exited through Shanksville. It must be so surreal to those folks to become such a famous or infamous place. It seems smaller than Mayberry. 
From Shanksville we headed to Ohio Pyle. We had reservations to see Falling Water. The house was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and was the Kaufmann family's "summer cottage". All the terraces are cantilevers. Bob had been to Falling Water once before - when he was about Sarah's age. It was a beautiful day to see it. We got there early, so we left and had lunch in Ohio Pyle next to the Youghiogheny River. (pronounced /yokigani/)
Last Day
After leaving Pennsylvania, we stayed the night in Morgantown, WV, and then headed to Marietta, to have lunch at DaVinci's in Williamstown, lay some flowers on Bob's parents grave for Easter and the headed toward home. We stopped for dinner in Columbus at a Bar-B-Q that our friend recommended.
