Duquesne Incline

After we left Phipps Conservatory, we thought it would be fun to take the kids back downtown to take them up the Duquesne Incline. Even with all of the years I lived in Pittsburgh, I don't remember ever going up the Duquesne Incline. I think that we had always ridden the Monongahela Incline before.

The kids loved going up the incline!

PPG, where Grammy used to work. Cecilia calls it the "pointy building"

While I went to find a place to sit and nurse Lucas, Chad took the kids down to a little museum about the incline. They all thought it was really interesting and were really excited to see the cables that actually move the cars up and down the hill.

Grant also enjoyed seeing the incline cars up close and personal through this window.

Phipps Conservatory

Another place that Chad wanted to go while we were in Pittsburgh was Phipps Conservatory. The rest of us were a bit unsure how the kids would do there and if they would have fun, but no one else came up with any ideas, so we decided to try it out. It turned out that they kids really enjoyed it, so it is good that Chad convinced us all to go there! Also, thanks to Aunt Kathi for coming with us! It was really nice to get to spend some time with her!
