Suzanne decided to spend a few days in Pittsburgh, so we drove her to
the airport in Philadelphia and left her
to catch her flight. We then drove off to this meter
where we parked the car
checked the time
and kept our goal
in our sights as we marched
past the dinosaurs
to the front entrance
where this lady
was nice enough to sign us up as members.
Once inside, we measured our legs against the dinosaurs
and explored a bit
before they beckoned us
first Ben and Jane
then Sarah and David
to come visit with them. Next we decided to do the crocodile
and dinosaur
walks before taking a look inside
our own bodies as they flew overhead
A few more steps
and a chat with this guy
convinced us that we wanted the paleontologist
to outfit us
for our dinosaur dig
after which we took our first Sarah and Jane sitting picture
and went off to see the wildebeast
the lions
and the other animals
of Africa before Ben joined the jungle
and we saw the mummy
gorillas
and zebras
with the antlers
that lured us to the butterfly lands.
Once among the butterflies, we got some pictures

We drove north past Catharine Street
to find DrLen and Judy
returning from their trip to a floor full of mail
and their new flat screened Sony high tech television
that called out for cheesecake
and cookies
to be eaten.
All this activity made us wish for a walk in the park. We headed down the
drive
and saw these 2 people sitting on the hill
behind the statue
with the boat houses
and the art museum
int he background. The water buildings
and bridges
plus this fallen tree
set the right backdrop
for this group photo before we went to ask him
about open floor times at the local gym.
All this activity meant that it was dinner time, so we followed the Davidson's
to the Country Club
where Ben
made his weird face as we found our way to the table
for the last Jane and Sarah picture
as Ben
and Lenny and Judy
were ready for the food. Jane had the chicken soup
Judy had the salad
and after this roll
DrLen's plate of Jewish dairy
came with Ben's turkey burger
and my garden burger
so that we could eat and head back to the country.
