Time for Vacation

OTA's are through and vacation time starts. Tuff and I are in Minnesota and playing in the Father's Day Golf Tourney today. This week was very full; plenty of goodbyes from all our loved ones here!

A few weeks ago an estimated 1800-2100 kayakers/canoers gathered for "Paddle at the Point" for a record-breaking attempt for the largest flotilla. They gathered around 11:45 a.m. Friday, June 4th as a Guinness representative watched from a yacht. Little did I know this as I was taking a jog along the north shore. Shortly into my jog I was wondering why there were so many kayakers and had to look it up online later. Luckily I was able to copy some great photos, as I did not have my camera with me.





Also going on in Pittsburgh June 3rd-13th was the Three Rivers Arts Festival.


Tuff and I were driving by one day and saw this floating head on the river. A local told me it is for the festival and is supposed to be Andrew Carnegie.


A few Saturday nights ago we were just hanging our in our apartment and heard fireworks coming from the baseball stadium. So we quickly went to the rooftop of our building and watched the show. After two rounds of fireworks we thought it was over and went back to our room. Then another round started. So Tuff and I ran the 1/2 mile to the stadium to watch the rest of the fireworks up close. They were shooting the fireworks from the bridge, river and Highmark building.





Much more to post about the last few weeks but not enough time. I'll post more in a few days. Happy Father's Day!
