Family Visit

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania is home of the Steelers.  Many know it as the city of champions or six-burgh because of the Steelers six Superbowl rings.  I am a not a local Pittsburgh "yinzer" (as they call it) but am originally from across the state around the Harrisburg area.  This past weekend my family members came out for a visit to see what the city is all about.

It is a lot different than our home back East.  There is so much to do within the area.  Since Pittsburgh has a rich history in coal mining I took them on the famous incline.  The incline is a cable powered car which takes individuals to the top Mount Washington which overlooks the city.  My family enjoyed it very much and we took many pictures with the beautiful view in front of us.

Later that afternoon after we had grabbed a bit to eat, at Primanti Brothers, we visited the Pittsburgh Zoo.  News was out that a baby gorilla had been born and we could not pass out the opportunity to see the new born.  Supposedly it is the first gorilla born in the Pittsburgh zoo since 2001!  It is fascinating that this baby gorilla can call it's home Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
