I am on vacation this week - thus the lack of new information on this site!  We decided to take a trip to my husband’s home town of Pittsburgh, but give it a bit of a tourist twist.

Since we live a bit out in the country, we always love staying in high rise hotels in cities whenever we can. We woke up this morning to thunder and lightning - it sounded so different bouncing off high rise hotels rather than our trees at home. When we finally got going we had decided to go to the Pittsburgh Zoo instead of the Carnegie Science Center. Let’s just say we made a great decision! The zoo wasn’t crowded and we enjoyed seeing all the animals. About 10 minutes after we left the zoo another round of storms came through and it was bad. The Science Center was hit during the storm and windows were blown out on the 4th floor. Did I say that I am glad we went to the zoo?

Anyhow, power is out all over the place here and roads are flooded. We are north of the city visiting with relatives right now. I am glad that I packed the laptop and even more glad that I have a Verizon wireless broadband card. It was the only way we could watch the news this evening.

Hope you are having a great evening and I’ll be back to my regular posting schedule shortly. Back to our adventure of a vacation!

Oh, and I won’t be hosting Casual Friday tomorrow - maybe HomeMom3 can have it at her place instead. It’ll be back next week.
