We got a late start driving to Pittsburgh with plans on stopping by Idlewild Park. The rain was very stop and go and very heavy at times. As we approached the Idlewild exit I was thinking of turning of because it had been dry for a while.
As we neared the exit the rain began again, a clear sign that the park was not going to happen today. We continued to Pittsburgh and checked into the Westin Hotel on Penn. This was a very nice hotel. All the travel sites listed this hotel at $239.00 (+ all the taxes) a night. We booked it through hotwire for $107.00 including taxes.
It rained most of the day and the weather channel was calling for doom and gloom for the rest of the week. We ran to the Pittsburgh Children’s Museum and played around for and hour and a half before they closed. This is a great museum and we could (and have) spent much more time there. After the museum we grabbed a bite to eat at Spaghetti Warehouse and stopped by Klavon’s Ice Cream in the Strip District for a big scoop of nostalgia. We went back to the hotel to stress about the weather and get ready for the ride. I went to bed to the sounds of rain.
