Our trip to Pittsburg!

Andrew was given 2 tickets to the Steelers game in Pittsburg and thought it would be fun to go check out the city. Evan and Julia live about 2 hours from there, so we spent the weekend with them at their new place near Cleveland, OH.
Since Andrew has been to Pittsburgh for meetings, he showed us
around a little. First the boys went to the game while Julia and I shopped. Later, Andrew took us to this amazing seafood restaurant (Monterey Bay) at the top of a building that overlooked all of Pittsburg. We rode the incline up the mountain to get to the restaurant. By the time we were done eating, the city was lit up and it was beautiful! We had a great time and can't wait to go back!

The Breaks Interstate Park

After Andrew made a quick trip to the rig today, we headed to the park. We already had the dogs with us, so we followed the signs from Kentucky to Virginia. The park is just over the state line. We drove around for a while and found a trail that led us to a few scenic overlooks. It was beautiful! We can't wait to see this place when the leaves finally turn. The dogs liked the walk much more than the view. Rusty did not want to stop for any pictures!
