A Day Downtown!

The boys and I spent the day with Aunt Lee Ann and Ashlynn in downtown Pittsburgh! First we stopped at Panera for a quick breakfast and then we headed to The Andy Warhol Museum. I can't believe that  I've been a graphic designer over 10 years and have never been to this museum. I've wanted to go since I was in college. I loved it! This was the first time for both boys to experience an art museum. They did extremely well. Lukas enjoyed the camouflage and skull series. All the kids loved the silver clouds. They did not want to leave that room! Lee Ann took them to the studio/education room  where they could explore Andy Warhol's art, life and artistic practice. They even hand-screened their own t-shirts. They each picked what color tee, graphic and inks for the shirts. It was totally awesome. They all turned out great!

After spending a few hours at the museum, we rode the "T" Downtown. This was another first experience for the boys and they loved the "T" :) When we got off at Gateway station, we headed straight to the Six Penn Kitchen for lunch. The food was delicious. After lunch, we walked to Market Square and the kiddos played in the PPG dancing fountains for two hours.

We finished our day with icecream from the Marble Slab...MMMmmmm:) It was a fantastic day. They had so much fun with their cousin today! We'll definitely have to do this again, soon:)

Thanks Lee Ann and Ashlynn, we had a blast!
