Part One

Judy and I finished packing and left Glenville Friday morning, July 20,  around 10:00 A.M..  We had a few errands to complete before we met the kids at their house in Bridgeport.  It was around 4:00 P.M.when we left with Shirley and followed Jeff, Sarah, and the boys to Pittsburgh. On the way, we had a terrific rain storm around Washington, PA.  By the time we got into Pittsburgh, the torrents of rain had subsided.


At 6:00 P.M. we ate at the Quaker Steak and Lube that is located near the airport.

The boys enjoyed the gas station theme and were impressed with the rotating motorcycles suspended from the ceiling

After supper, Sam and Nate tried their hand at games.

Grandpa, however, was more interested in the vintage truck that was parked outside.

I had Nate kick the tires to see if it was OK to purchase.  He assured me that the vehicle was sound.

We arrived at the Hyatt Regency Hotel at the Pittsburgh Airport.  After getting the plethora of luggage into our rooms, Jeff and Sarah took the cars to the long-term parking area.  We settled in for the night.  The flight out of Pittsburgh was at 7:30 A.M, which means be there at 5:30 A.M.

Tomorrow .....  off to Turks and Caicos
