I wanted to hit one more state on this road trip, so we took a three hour drive to visit Pittsburgh, PA for our final day. We took a little trolley, called the Duquesne Incline up and down the mountain for some sightseeing. We didn't have a lot of time in Pittsburgh, because we took our time leaving Ohio and having lunch on the way, but we spent a few hours at the Science Center, which was actually really impressive and fun. They're inside a space shuttle. You can also tour this Submarine, but we ran out of time. The planetarium. We had a great dinner that night, before checking into our final hotel for our last night. I’ve been solo traveling with the boys for 8 years and while we’ve had some incredible adventures, it’s also been very hard doing it all alone. I feel like this year we finally reached that sweet spot where things got a lot easier and it was such a pleasure traveling and exploring with them.
The following day, we took a ferry to an island called Put in Bay. My friend Tiffany, who is originally from Ohio, had told me about it, and it ended up being our favorite day. We rented a golf cart for the day and started cruising around, and found this little adventure center, where the boys could do mining, which is Finn's all time favorite activity wherever we go. He was so happy. We took a short tour in an underground cave, and Finn was SO SCARED that the cave was going to fall on us. He hated every minute of it, and while the tour was only 15 minutes, he couldn't wait to get out of there. They also had this labyrinth scavenger hunt, which was a lot of fun as well. We went to the butterfly house as well, but it was pretty small compared to the one we have here in Arizona. Obviously we couldn't pass up the local candy store, we actually went there twice on that day. A perfect lunch outside, the weather was so perfect, I actually wore a sweatshirt most of the day.
