First day of our trip north! Kaylee came to Pittsburgh about five years ago on a missions trip through the BSM at Stephen F. Austin State University.
And ever since then she's talked about how beautiful it is so we just decided to pay a visit.
We got an early start and enjoyed a very pleasant flying experience with US Airways, stopping to change planes at Charlotte, NC.
After arriving in Pittsburgh we retrieved our little rental Mazda and made our way into the city. It's really beautiful with lots of hills and the convergence of three rivers. We ate at a local sandwich restaurant that Kaylee had remembered and liked when she was here and then we walked a bit at a downtown market. It was a beautiful day though so there were lots of people out and we ended up not staying too long.
We then rode the Duquesne Incline up the side of a mountain and reached this amazing view. I have short sleeves on but was regretting the fact that I'd left my jacket in the car. There was quite a chilly breeze blowing up there and it was just a beauiful day.
We're now staying a bit north of the city and tomorrow morning we'll go to the church where Kaylee served as a summer youth minister. And we're planning to have lunch with the people who were her 2nd family that summer.
It's been a really great first of seven fun days of our trip through five states.
