Pittsburgh fun

Visiting the National Aviary and Pittsburgh Botanical Gardens and Life Lately

Our local library offers free passes to local attractions around Pittsburgh during the summer, so we have been taking advantage of that lately! So far, we’ve visited Phipps Conservatory, the Pittsburgh Zoo, and now the Aviary and Botanic Gardens.

Visiting Phipps Conservatory, Summer Sniffles, and Husky Woes

I took the kids to Phipps Conservatory with my mom this week and we all had such a nice time! Phipps is like a giant greenhouse and botanical garden in downtown Pittsburgh. I think the last time I was there was ten years ago!

Every night, Sadie asks me to read Night Night Pittsburgh to her and she is always interested in the different landmarks. I told her all about Phipps and the butterfly room (yes, there’s a room filled with butterflies!) and she couldn’t stop talking about going. So we made it happen! The photo below was Sadie’s face when we parked and I told her we had arrived.

Pure excitement!
