Road Trip Day 9

Saturday, September 8, 2007

Today was so much FUN!

After breakfast, nap and lunch Aunt Martha and Uncle Christopher came to our hotel. I was going to take them to the Children's Museum of Pittsburgh. It was so much fun.

The first floor of the museum has a bunch of stuff from Mr. Roger's Neighborhood including some of the original puppets from the Neighborhood of Make Believe. Uncle Christopher and Aunt Martha spent some time with a lot of other exhibits on this floor. They made boxes, a horse and helped make a table and chairs. I'm not really certain because I wasn't there.

Instead I was on the second floor in the nursery. This is a exhibit designed for children under 2. There was so much in this room. I only tried a few things. I spent a lot of time with the pegboard table and the lighted pegs that go into the wall (think a giant light-bright). I also enjoyed the see-saw. As I went on the see-saw bubbles formed in the glass wall. I also played some with the sand table. I finally got a turn with a push toy and I enjoyed walking and pushing it on a variety of surfaces (carpet, bumps, tiles, a hill, etc.) I had so much fun!

Then we went upstairs to the Waterplay room. This was a giant room with a huge vat of water. I found a toy sail and splashed it in the water. Uncle Christopher showed me how he could put a bunch of pipes together to make a fountain. Despite his effort I was more impressed with the sail. Mommy had learned a couple of days ago to always have a spare dry outfit for me in the diaper bag.

I had so much fun at the museum. I will go every time I go to Pittsburgh.

After the museum we headed to Aunt Martha and Uncle Christopher's house where I had a dinner of peaches and spinach balls. Then I sat with my Daddy in the hammock in the backyard. It was a lot of fun, a lot like a giant swing. Mommy then blew some bubbles for me. Aunt Martha played with me as well.

At this point I was exhausted with such an overstimulating day. So Mommy and Daddy took me back to the hotel when I went straight to bed.

Tomorrow we drive back to New York.
