Pittsburgh Part 1

For Easter we headed out to Pittsburgh with Dan's parents to visit his sister and her fiance. We had a great time and enjoyed seeing the city. We started off the day with eating from several food trucks near their house.

 After eating we headed into the city to see the University of Pittsburgh. There was a lot to see and we enjoyed the beautify day. One of the buildings we checked out looks like a Cathedral inside, they also have different classrooms dedicated to different countries. It felt like the castle from the Harry Potter books :)

 At the top of the building they have their Honor's College set up and have been renovating it. I loved the stain glass pieces on the railing and windows.

We finished up our time downtown by grabbing some ice cream and seeing the library. The buildings have amazing architecture and the library is connected to the museum and in one part looks right into the dinosaur exhibit. Our next stop was to check out an over-look of the city and is the place Sam proposed to Emily this past fall.
