We spend the Halloween week in Pittsburgh staying with Eliza Miller.... |
...and visiting favorite haunts downtown. |
The Kaufmann clock AND Horne's Department stores are no more, but... |
...some things seem immutable! |
And Mr. Tiffany comes to the Scaife. |
Kids visit the Wycolf Gallery on a field trip and... |
Ron checks out the Tiffany come-on on the stairs to the Scaife gallery. |
There's lots to see! |
We go to the mall with Marta and Lorelei and Lorelei asks Puppa to pick her up, then.... |
...she checks out the touchscreen and... |
...manhandles a 'friend.' |
We meet at Olive Garden for... |
....lunch. |
The next day we go downtown to visit the City-County Building.... |
...where the architecture is amazing and .... |
....Lorelei enjoys a ride. |
These elevator doors are a standout! |
At the County Courthouse building we enjoy the murals... |
....reflecting working Pittsburgh and... |
....watch Lorelei navigate the stairs; up and down and.... |
....jumping! |
"Pick me up, Poppa!" |
One Oliver Center on the way out of town. |
"Read to me, Auntie Jeanne!" |
We visit the Carnegie Museum and Scaife Galleries. |
The Carnegie Museum of Natural History has always fascinated. |
Shakespeare takes his rightful place outside. |
The Scaife splashes their Tiffany display on the stairs. |
The Doughboy WWI Memorial |
Lorelei gets Rockin' and rollin' for Halloween.... |
....and deposits spare change for a rainy day which.... |
....this is!! |
Daddy and his Lady...BUG! |
Eliza gets into the spirit of Halloween! |
Meeting new people is hard! |
But they surely appreciate seeing a little one! |
And looking out the window at those ponds is fun! |
Lorelei enjoys a Smiley Cookie from EatnPark before we head... |
The city from the car |
....into the city. |
Downtown Pittsburgh sparkles! |
The last day is spent in Oakland where we visit the... |
...new Phipps Conservatory with it's new domed front! Wow! |
Isn't it lovely? Outside and... |
.....in looking out! |
The vegetation is lovely, but the prettiest spot ... |
....in the place is the Japanese garden... |
....between buildings. |
Ron enjoys the colors. |
Colorful Fall foliage in this garden and... |
....seasonal fantasies for October make this... |
....a fun place! |
We get clever about photographing the two of us together! |
