A snapshot

I finally sat down to upload some of the pictures that we have taken in Pittsburgh. We have enjoyed exploring so far and loved the Museum of Art and Natural History that is pictured here.  Pittsburgh is an old city with many beautiful, historic buildings, many of which that are on the University of Pittsburgh's campus. Carnegie Mellon also has a picturesque campus that is nestled in the middle of the city. It is exciting to be on such a large campus where so many new and groundbreaking discoveries are taking place. We also had to include some photos of our apartment. It is small but has all that we really need: rooms for sleeping, cleaning, eating, and cooking!

There are many other places near Pittsburgh we hope to visit while we're here (Gettysburg, Niagara Falls, and maybe even New York City, to name a few), and we'll be sharing pictures along the way. But for now, here's a few snapshots of life in PA so far. Enjoy!

At the Museum of Natural History--Gabe LOVES dinosaurs. He knows the name of that one behind him.

My dad and me. So glad he helped us navigate through Pittsburgh.

One of our favorite place in the Museum of Art, the Hall of Sculptures.

Hall of Sculptures.

My dad and Gabe next to an athletic looking sculpture throwing a discus.

Attempting to decipher endless halls of modern art can be exhausting.

Gabe and me next to the beautiful butterfly paintings.

Gabe with his dinosaurs again.

Us in downtown Pittsburgh near the University of Pittsburgh.

Sitting in front of the Cathedral of Learning on Pitt's campus.

Locks on the gate? After that modern art exhibit, my dad can figure out anything!

This way to Carnegie Mellon!

I had to take a picture of the building that houses the Humanities Department.

Entrance to Gabe's building: Heinz College

Cool sculpture in the middle of CMU's campus

I always think those two sculptures standing next to Gabe are real people.

CMU's School of Drama where many actors now in Hollywood have performed.

Pretty academic building on campus.

Campus union

More academic buildings
