First we had to find a dog sitter for Sky. We have a great teenager down the street, who is the kids babysitter, and also loves dogs, so I asked if she would puppy sit Sky. She came 4 times a day to walk, feed and play with her. So, once we were set with a dog sitter, we were ready to go!
I really LOVE our van!
Allie loves Pittsburgh. She went there when she was 3 and still talks about the Children's Museum. It's an awesome place for young children if ever you get the chance to go.
Now I was a little (ok...a lot) worried about the sleeping arrangements. We were in a one bedroom room, with 2 beds, and a pack n play. I didn't know how Hunter was going to sleep at night, much less takes naps. He doesn't sleep at all in his stroller, so I just wasn't sure how he was going to be. I couldn't have been more surprised, when the first night, he just went to sleep. It was so easy, we just laid him down, and turned off the lights. Allie watched a show with headphones on her DVD player, and that was it! The next morning, Hunter was in the pack n play and I was getting our bags ready for the day, and he just laid down with his lovey and went to sleep! I couldn't believe my eyes. Allie and I waited 1 hr and 45 min. while he took his nap, and she NEVER once complained, nor asked when could we go etc. She was an awesome big sister, just waiting for her brother to wake up. Once he did wake up, we headed to the museum. It was a blast for both kids!

Awesome water area. We spent 40 min. in this area!

I love this picture of them playing together.
Tired little boy.
The next day, we went to the Pittsburgh Zoo and Aquarium after Hunter woke up from his morning nap. The animals were awesome to see and so close up! Hunter especially liked the aquarium part, as he tried to grab the fish as they were swimming by. Too cute!
This leopard was right up against the glass, giving us a great photo op!

She went through a tunnel to end up on the other side of this water area. In the water were Sting Rays
Ending our vacation with bath time, before heading back to VA the next morning.
Daddy joined us each day by 5pm for one night at Dave and Busters, and the next night walking downtown near the University of Pittsburgh.
We had such a great mini-vacation. Traveling with two children who are excellent at traveling makes for a fun trip!
