Default Beautiful Pittsburgh

Sue and I stayed in Pittsburgh for a few days after Spring Fling and visited the Phipps Conservatory, the PNC park (saw the Pirates hit a walk off home run in the 10th inning against the Braves), and the Pittsburgh Zoo. Many of you probably went to the same places we did.

Here are some Chihuly glass sculptures at the Phipps Conservatory:

goblues2k and I had a wonderful time in Pittsburgh. The weather was beautiful.

We would love to go back again and take in some more sights there.

Great photos, Dennis. Thank you for sharing. Jerry and I went to National Aviary and I'll post photos of birds some time.
