Spring Break

Well, we didn't blog during our Spring Break vacation, but Bob will share a few pictures from that vacation. We were originally going totry to go to Washington, D.C. for Spring Break, but there were a couple of conflicts that made that difficult, so the girls werewanting to go back to the Carnegie Science Center in Pittsburgh and Bob want to meet some cousins that he has been talking to online, so we opted for a Western Pennsylvania Spring Break.

Y - Bridge

Our first stop was to visit a little Ohio history on the way.  Bob took his girls to the Y-bridge overlook in Zanesville, Ohio.  The Y-bridge spans the Muskingum and Licking rivers.  Bob first saw this on his school Ohio History trip in 197*. Bob researched this a little and found out that the current bridge was built in the early 1980's. So this is not the bridge that he saw in Jr. High.

Pittsburgh

We spent three days in Pittsburgh.  On Monday we drove around the ballparks, through town and checked in.  We had dinner and did some shopping and swimming.

Tuesday morning was spent at the Carnegie Science Center touring both the regular building and the Sportsworks building.  It was the first time we went to the Sportswork building.  The girls jumped high on the boyo, played hockey on a huge hockey table and other cool stuff.  The CSC itself was as fun as always.  We had soda pop at the Kitchen Theater, did all the normal stuff and of course, Bob loved the trains.

They added the Strasburg Railroad (which we rode for real on vacation in 2005) and Falling Water (which we saw for real later in this vacation) to the display.

Wednesday we toured PNC Park and went to the Pittsburgh Zoo.

They asked to get a picture with this seal statue.

We were there during the Stanley Cup playoffs and these Penquins were routing for the HOME TOWN team.
