Our (only, so far) grandchild lives in Pittsburgh. So that's all the excuse we need. I spent last week there helping with child-care duties and enjoying some beautiful weather in Pittsburgh's famous (and fabulous) parks.

| An entrance gate to Frick Park -- although the park is not fenced, and can be entered along much of the perimeter. |
 |
| One of the trails in Frick Park. |
 |
| Look carefully near the top of the photo and you can see Forbes Ave about 100 feet above the main ravine in Frick Park. |
 |
| Armstrong Playground on the South Side. |
 |
| Pittsburghers love their model trains. This one is set up in Phipps Conservatory to celebrate "200 Years of Pittsburgh". Many Pittsburgh landmarks are incorporated into the display including the Dusquene Incline, Mr. Roger's Neighborhood, the Cathedral of Learning, and Phipps, itself. |
 |
| Love that trolley! |
 |
| Enjoying the "Stove Room" in the Phipps Conservatory, which has butterflies during the summer -- right now only a few remained. |
 |
| The outdoor area at the Center for Sustainable Landscapes. The large glass structure in the background is the new Tropical Forest Conservatory. Both are part of the Phipps Conservatory. |
 |
| Paying attention to details in the Discovery Garden, another outdoor area at Phipps. |
