Not the first plan. I had thought we would do lots of “stuff” in Pittsburgh, like the top of Mount Washington but we went to the Heinz History Museum just after 10. and instead of an hour or two, we stayed until after 4. The museum is well done but it also spoke to both me and Cindy with lots of childhood memories. I did not take my camera in so everything is from the iPhone (not a bad thing at all). We did leave and walk up the street to an Italian place for lunch in the Strip District and also for more coffee at one of the many shops in the area. On the way back to the trailer we stopped at the amazing Oakmont Bakery and bought more than we should but not really enough:) And I got one more Glen’s Custard too. Last day for the Moose to be on hiatus while he searches for a muse, otherwise, I will simply let Tom be his muse.
I rode a few of these around Pgh but I would prefer walking. One time, while I was staying for a few days in Shadyside and going to school downtown I took a borrowed Honda 50 to get to school and promptly got the tire stuck in a street car track. Not my best day.
I rode one of these terror inducing cars as a kid and did not ride a roller coaster for 40 years. The race was a double track, wooden coaster with steep drops down a ravine that you COULD NOT SEE FROM THE OUTSIDE!
My love of ice cream started here with Sky High Cones as well as my preference for thinly sliced luncheon meats - Chipped Ham!
I took Cindy here once when we were dating, it may be our first super fancy meal.
A long, fun, memory filled day eases into night.
