We had a great weekend. There are lots of pics, but with this app it is hard to organize them, so I numbered the captions.
#1 View of Frank Lloyd Wright's falling water
#2 As we approach, Jer says he feels this need to quiet the kids as if they should revere this place. Then he remembers, it's just a house.
#3 It is an amazing house. But as Jer points out, almost every Wright house he's been to was covered by a tarp somewhere. They leak. Maybe his ideas were just ahead of the engineering available at the time.
#4. Miss Libby
#5 Riding the Duquesne incline in Pittsburgh. It is over 100 years old and still uses the original machinery.
#6 Us and the view from the top. We could see Heinz field and PNC park, where the Steelers and Pirates play. Luca and James got to go to two Pirates games and even run around the bases afterward.
#7 silly boys
#8 Mom-mom and Pap-pap
#9 Waiting outside the original Primanti Brother's. There was a terrific thunderstorm and the street musicians had to run for cover with their drums.

Your blog is making me homesick --- when are you coming back down to visit?
And I can totally see Jeremiah Augustus Fairbank expecting reverence while approaching a Frank Lloyd Wright home.

So what do you think about Fallingwater as a lay-woman? I'm jealous you got to visit. Recently I've been listening to the bio of George Washington and remembering there is so much history and culture out 'East'.
That last photo in with the rain is a real gem.
