Day One- Pennsylvania

Well the rain chased us all across northern Ohio, finally catching us in Wadsworth and drenching us the whole way to Pittsburgh, complete with a huge lightning and thunderstorm almost the entire trip. As soon as we got to downtown Pittsburgh and checked in, the rain stopped. We were able to walk across the street to Jerome Bettis Grille 36- I was expecting fried, greasy food but the menu was so expansive, I think anyone would love it.
Bailey found Atwater Vanilla Java Porter and a veggie burger, Bree and Braden both had burgers and Bubs had grilled chicken and broccoli (what's wrong with this picture?) I shared with everyone and had a side salad- we have learned that restaurant portions are just too big and wasteful. It's more economical to order less and share.
Highly recommend the restaurant. The kids turned down a trolley ride, walk across the bridge, and boat tour to go back to the hotel and go swimming. Bubby met a friend in the pool and turned out he was from my hometown- Sandusky! Braden and I had a lot of fun talking to the his parents and catching up on what's happened since I moved away. We got caught up talking, I forgot to get their name. Hope to run into them at breakfast.
Ready to hit the bed and maybe talk the kids into doing the trolley ride in the morning before heading to Nemacolin. So far, the trip has been a mix of adjusting to being in the car for hours interspersed with giggles and laughs. It's good to spend time together.
