On the road again..to Pittsburgh, PA

After returning home for a day, Brad joined us in the car again for a trip to see Ashley Beth in Pittsburgh, PA.
Getting ready for bed after getting there the first day
The first tour we took was to the Children's Museum.
Ashley Beth and Gwen enjoyed climbing through a maze...
Brad and Wyatt got into the big tires--literally
Gwen and Wyatt learned to build cars 
The Wizard of Oz exhibit was a big hit
Gwen had a great time sorting the vegetable from "our" garden 
Water, water, everywhere! Gwen loved playing in the water works! 
Where's Wyatt? 
Another day...Another trip!  This time to the zoo.  Here Wyatt learned a new word...TIGER!
Now we have a distinction between Doggies (all animals not in a zoo) and Tigers (all animals in a zoo) 
Ashley Beth and Wyatt checking our more "tigers", I think this really was the rhinos
Gwen stopped to take notes in her field journal
Sushi Night!!!!!!!!  Gwen helped set up for our homemade sushi and tuna nacho dinner-
Next trip...the National Aviary.  It was a rainy day, but we still enjoyed looking at all the birds and the penguins
 Penguin fun
Amazing!  There is a penguin bigger than Gwen!
Our break for lunch was at a brewery that used to be a Catholic church!  It had great food, and beer according to Brad, but it was a little odd to be eating in what used to be a church.  
Gwen's new buddy from the trip...Eleanor the Opossum 
We had a great time visiting Ashley Beth and Ty, and getting to spend quality time together on the road.  I'm was so happy to be finally home though after being gone for 2 weeks!  Our next adventure....me going back to work....
