Road Trip Day 10

Sunday, September 9, 2007

We are home! Daddy promises that next time we will come home on a Saturday so that we have a day to recover before going back to school or work.

We packed everything this morning and went to have bagels with Aunt Martha and Uncle Christopher. In honor of the season opener for the Steelers I wore my new jersey. (The Steelers won by the way!) Finally we left Pittsburgh.

We had a long drive across Pennsylvania. We hit some bad traffic on I-78 so Mommy and Daddy took a detour. My exciting news from the car trip was that I mastered drinking from a straw. Mommy wasn't exactly pleased to share her Oreo sundae with me but I enjoyed it!

There was also some bad traffic at the George Washington Bridge, but we listened to the radio and took the shorter way. When we got back to the city we stopped by my friend Max's house. His mommy and daddy had bought a fresh half-gallon of milk for me.

I was really excited to come home. I saw all the toys I hadn't seen for a week and I saw my own crib. It was good to sleep in that tonight.

All in all I enjoyed my road trip. I hope you've enjoyed reading about it!

Road Trip Day 8

Friday, September 7, 2007



Today was my first full day in Pittsburgh. After a breakfast in the hotel restaurant I took a nap. Aunt Martha then came over to our hotel. Aunt Martha was wearing a skirt Uncle Chris made. You can read more about that in his blog.


We got my stroller and took a walk into downtown Pittsburgh. I had a veggie dog at Franktuary. (It's a hot dog store in the basement of a church). One of Aunt Martha's college friends, Brad Yoder, was performing. I enjoyed watching him play the guitar.



We then walked to Uncle Christopher's office at the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy. His office is in the process of moving. The building we went to is one of the oldest office buildings in Pittsburgh. You can see a picture down below.


My favorite part of the day was when we went to the fountains in front of the PPG building. I had a lot of fun putting my hand in the fountain and splashing. This time it was Mommy's shoes that got wet. Uncle Christopher joined me in splashing.


Mommy then had a little adventure at the bank with her debit card---but I had fun watching the pigeons with Daddy. We then went to Macy's where Daddy bought some clothing. Aunt Martha and Uncle Christopher went to a store and got me a Troy Polamalu jersey. (He's a safety for the Pittsburgh Steelers.)



After all this I was pooped so Daddy and I went back to the hotel. Mommy went with Uncle Christopher and Aunt Martha to an event for the Nine Mile Run Watershed Association. Aunt Martha serves on the board.



Tomorrow I am taking Aunt Martha and Uncle Christopher to a children's museum. I can't wait!
