Exploring around Pittsburgh

From Mt. Chestnut outside of Butler, we drove 30 miles to downtown Pittsburgh, PA. There we spent time on the campus of University of Pittsburgh. Here is the Carnegie Library. It's just part of a massive structure also housing a history museum and art gallery.Here is the impressive Cathedral of Learning. Tallest schoolroom in the world. It looks like a medieval castle inside and around the perimeter are rooms depicting education in other countries around the world. This was awesome.

For fun one weekend, we attended the Butler Farm Show with Dr. Steve and Glenda Dillman. We looked at all the farm animals, tractors, and rode some rides.

Visiting Cade & Vicki in Ohio

After we left Indiana, we drove through Columbus, OH and to Cade & Vicki's house on the East side of town. We had a great weekend together. One day we drove downtown to visit the sights. First we visited a huge book store called The Book Loft. Room after room on several floors - we got lost for hours.
Then down by the river to see a replica of The Santa Maria. Legend has it that Christopher Columbus got this far inland - so they named the city after him. I'm skeptical about thatBack home, Cade gave Emma some archery pointers in the back yard. You should have seen their awesome garden, too!
