Pittsburgh Made For An Excellent Vacation
We have some good friends that used to be next door neighbors of ours that moved to Pittsburgh. They wanted to stay in Utah, but they got a job offer that they could not refuse. For some time, they encouraged us to visit them but being that Pennsylvania is so far from Utah, we couldn’t justify it. The truth of it is, we did not realize how great a vacation town Pittsburgh can be. What we now know is that Pittsburgh rivals that of Southern California and Orlando Florida.
The first thing I recommend is the Carnegie Science Center with many attractions ranging from Robo World which boasts that world’s largest robotics display, to the USS Requin Submarine, an actual cold war submarine that is open to tour. How awesome is that?
The night life is also amazing. Whatever you are looking for there is a Pittsburgh venue for everyone. There are enough quality restaurants, with or without table side entertainment that you will never have to eat at the same place twice.
We discovered that Pittsburgh is a hub for the arts. Simply taking a walk around Pittsburgh, you will see enough free public art that you will leave feeling like you owe someone admission to an art museum. During the summer time, there is a concert series that brings music to many of the parks, as well cinema in the park which shows clean family friendly movies in the enjoyment of the outdoors. We have certainly found joy in vacationing outside the box. Pittsburgh will be seeing us again.
