Here are some pics of the Cathedral of Learning. It is a magnificent building you can see from basically everywhere in Pittsburgh. The most extraordinary thing about this 40+ story building is that it was built during the Great Depression. I still have no idea how they managed that during those desolate times. It must have been such a symbol of hope to see that grande structure being built. Adam actually has a class in here. cool huh? Also, they have about 30 separate rooms set up like different nationalities' classrooms. It is REALLY cool! Here is the wiki page with pictures and descriptions of each room.
One of my favorite moments we spent in the Cathedral of Learning was at floor...41 I think. whatever the highest floor we are allowed to go to without security. Anyway, we were on that floor and the only window on that floor is in the boys bathroom. It was such a funny moment to turn and see Mom Dyal standing next to the urinals taking a picture out the window. so comical!
We also took Mom to the top of Mt Washington which is a beautiful lookout over the city.
The last day she was here we went on a walk in the park behind our house and looked at the fall leaves. That was one of our favorite things we did.

What a cool building! Totally reminds me of Harry Potter!
That picture on Mt. Washington is so magical! I LOVE it! And I love the Shields' bathroom pictures...even better when it's a girl in the boys bathroom :)
I LOVE that you are now taking bathroom pictures with adam's mom! Too funny!! By far my favorite part. Lol
How did we ever start the bathroom pictures! We are so unique! Yet I have to say that Momma Dyal has just chartered new territory in the MEN's bathroom! -- Good Job! I am so glad that you have some time with family. We miss you!
