Indiana, Pennsylvania

We trekked over to Indiana, PA last weekend to meet up with our friends the Derr's who live in D.C. Zach and Reza both competed in a sprint triathlon. And they both did fabulous! It was great to see the Derr's, as well as take Reza to the furthest East he has ever been. We drove to Indiana on Friday night, and there were the biggest, coolest thunderstorms ever! One of the things I love best about summer is the amazing thunderstorms we have. We woke up Saturday morning to great weather.


Here are Zach and Reza being all tough before the big race.
Here is Reza coming out of the water after a 1/2 mile swim in the lake.
For all you know he came in first! :) (He actually almost had a personal best, and finished 5th in his age group.)
He was sweaty and gross, but happy.
We visited with some of Reza's friends: the Nelson's. They live in Pittsburgh. This is Reza in front of the Steeler's stadium. The Nelson's live in a hilltop neighborhood right near downtown, and they took us exploring Pittsburgh. We both were surprised with how hilly the city is, and we both really liked it. It's a little bit old and rundown, but it has a lot of character.
We went up this trolley car called the Dusquene Incline, this is the view from the top. There are over 400 bridge in Pittsburgh. And the downtown is right were the Allegehny and the Monogohela Rivers meet to form the mighty Ohio.

In the little trolley car on the way down Mt. Washington. We had a great trip!
