Drive Me To The Moon - Day 6

Thursday

We woke up this morning and wanted to do a little bit of exploring in Pittsburgh.  We were staying downtown and headed into the market square where we had breakfast on a patio in the middle of the farmers market. 

We went for a little stroll around the neighbourhood and walked out on to the 6th street bridge.  From the bridge we could see 2 stadiums and Logan counted 5 bridges!

We headed back to our hotel to check out and made our way to the Carnagie Science Centre.  There Logan had a blast exploring the space exhibit, as well as a water exhibit, body exhibit and eventually making our way out to the USS Requin Submarine.

the submarine was very exciting for Logan as we walked through, he was eager to try to understand what all the gadgets were for, and was excited at the idea of being under the water.

After lunch we decided to head back out on the road to make the 5 hour drive home (which actually took more like 8 hours with stops).

We were sad to conclude our road trip today, as we’re never really ready to stop exploring! We’re already planning our next adventure!

Drive Me To The Moon - Day 5

Wednesday

This morning we said goodbye to Pigeon Forge and started making our way back home.  Logan said farewell to the dinosaurs at Jurassic Park’s front entrance, and we were off.

We covered a lot of ground today, stepping foot in 4 states.

We headed out on the highway passing by the grand guitar in Bristol, TN and eventually reaching Virginia.  We stopped at the welcome centre for a picnic lunch and stretched our legs before continuing on our way.

Virginia was a gorgeous place to drive through, as we drove through and around gorgeous mountains and forests. 

As we entered West Virginia we continued to enjoy the scenery and the huge bridges that passed over massive canyons.  

We stopped to stretch our legs at New River Gorge Bridge which is the largest single span arch bridge.

We eventually reached Pittsburg PA at around 11pm with two sleepy heads.  We wished that we hadn’t had such a driving intense day and would have liked to have enjoyed the journey a bit more.  We ended the day a bit road weary, and ready to rest for our continued drive home tomorrow.
