Start: Silver Spring, MD
Stop: Pittsburgh, PA – PNC Park – Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Toronto Blue Jays
Finish: Harmarville, PA
Waking up after our successful night in Washington D.C. was very difficult (waking up at 7 should only be required for school days!) After falling out of bed, we left around 8 in order to give us enough time to get to Pittsburgh even if there was traffic. We got to the city around 12:15 and we were feeling pretty good. While following the route TomTom gave us, we ran in to a gay pride parade which was pretty weird to see. That forced us to drive around for an extra 30 minutes. We arrived at a parking garage right across the Roberto Clemente Bridge and parked the car ($5 garage parking=awesome!)
We walked across the bridge, bought some water and walked in to one of the most beautiful parks in the MLB. We then got to our beautiful seats (thanks Grandpa B!) and sat down to enjoy the game. The Pirates couldn’t complete the sweep of the sorry Blue Jays, but it was still a great game to see and a great view. We got some great pictures and enjoyed the wide variety of food. Eric and I got Philly Cheese steaks and Kyle got some buffalo wings.
After the game we walked down the rotunda and back to our car. We then checked in at our Days Inn about 15 minutes away from the downtown Pittsburgh area and sat down to relax for a bit. Grandpa and Grandma Goldkette were in the area visiting Grandma’s family, so they invited us to eat dinner with them. We went to Denny’s and it surprisingly tasty! I had the buffalo sub which was awesome.
All in all, it was a very good day. The next few days are looking even better. Tomorrow is a complete day off here in the city and we don’t have to leave until 4 PM on Tuesday! It should be very good for us to get some rest! Until tomorrow everyone!
Game Result: Pirates lose, 8-5
Record: 5-5

Eric, go find the Software Engineering Institute building - not much to look at on the outside, but at you can say you've been there! LOL If I had thought ahead, I probably could have arranged for you to meet one of my colleagues there.
You also probably want to check out the "Cathedral of Learning" at the University of Pittsburgh - they have some cool stuff in there!
