Trip to Pittsburgh

We had a great time on our trip to Pittsburgh last weekend.  I have a lot of pictures to show!
Regan and Daddy making the trek to breakfast the first morning.  By the next day, Regan knew exactly how to walk from the room to the elevators.
Checking out the penguins at the zoo.  So much cuter than the other Pittsburgh Penguins!
Petting a deer, Regan was so gentle with it.
Saying hi to the sheep
and a goat
Walking across the shaky bridge.  She was saying "ooooh" as they were going over the bumps so her voice would shake 
The original Heinz Factory!  Now converted into loft apartments.
At the Children's Museum, in King Friday's Castle in the Mister Rodgers Exhibit
George, Regan & Daddy - He's Kevin's Favorite
Regan passing out all the groceries to the other kids
She played with these pegs forever, it was like a giant lite brite
Playing in the water-play exhibit, connecting tubes to make the water go in different directions.
Regan was not a happy camper when it was time to take a nap at the hotel, so we ended up driving around so she would sleep.  Here she's holding the animal she piked out at the zoo... an Emperor Tamarin.
While she was napping, we drove up to the incline.  Here is a nice picture of the view.

Thankfully every morning Mickey Mouse Club House was on while Regan had breakfast, so mom and dad could shower and get ready.
They have a playground inside the ball park!  Genius!
Our view from our seats
Daddy and Regan enjoying the game
Our veiw in the other direction....so pretty, right on the Allegheny River
Such a ham... she really had fun
New statue of Bill Mazeroski - they had a dedication before the game and he threw out the first pitch.
At the History Center in an original trolley
Kevin meeting Bill Mazeroski, and getting a book signed for Regan.  His daughter-in-law wrote a children's book based on this home run at the 1960 World Series.  It just so happened that they were having a launch party for the book, and a signing that day.
Kevin doing his best Tom Barrasso
Ketchup Exhibit!!!
She was so tired and cranky by this time, she just sat down and wouldn't move.  We knew then it was time to go home.

We had a great time in Pittsburgh, and I think we can easily say we will go back again.
