Won't you be my neighbor?

What a fun filled weekend we have been having in Pittsburgh with my brotha Chad and his girlfriend Allison! We got here Friday night and did our huge tourist gig yesterday. Chad took us to Point State Park which is in located on the merging of the 3 rivers: The Monongahela, The Allegheny, and The Ohio.

There was so much to see at this park that we could have spent all day there walking around and seeing the sites. You could see - 

• PNC park (where the Pirates play)
• Heinz stadium (where the Steelers play)
• Carnegie Science Museum
• The Duquesne Incline 
• a gorgeous city scape of downtown Pittsburgh
• and so much more.....

While playing Frisbee (ok I only watched and took tons of pictures) and seeing Heinz field was really cool yesterday we actually spent the most time at a statue/memorial dedicated to children of Pittsburgh complete with a statue of Mister Rogers

Did you know that Mister Rogers neighborhood was produced and filmed in Pittsburgh. It is the second longest running show (next to Seasame Street) on PBS. The statue was opened in November of 2009 so if you have not been out to Pittsburgh in the past year and 1/2, you are missing out on seeing this magnificent piece of art work commemorating a man who had a huge impact on children all over our nation. Whether you watched the show or not, you probably know his trademark sneakers (that he took to wearing because it allowed him to walk around quieter on the set) and cardigan. 

I loved seeing the sites at Point Park yesterday, but hands down I think we enjoyed Mister Rogers the most. I think we were at that statue for a solid 20 mins yesterday just taking any possible picture combo you could think of. Enjoy!

Mister Rogers is taking Chad for a walk

Now a piggy back ride

Maddy is sad to leave

Give him a big ol' kiss

We love you Mister Rogers

 

side note: see that pairs of legs sitting on the back left hand side of Mister Rogers in our group picture. Yeah, there was this woman talking on her cell phone the entire time our whole fisaco was going down. She didn't even blink an eye. Does that make us weird or her? haha
