So apparently people DO read blogs!  I received an email yesterday from Kelly Rabenstein with Riverlife Task Force.  Apparently someone saw my blog this past weekend about Point State Park and forwarded my name to her!  From this, I have been subscribed to their newsletter and was directed to some VERY interesting sites about Point State Park and Three Rivers Park and well all kinds of really cool Pittsburgh things!  Of course I couldn't keep this information to myself.......I have to share it with all of you!  Check out these sites:

So yeah...........check it out and see what more Pittsburgh has to offer!!!!!!!!!

Doug and I checked out West End Overlook for the first time yesterday.  If Pittsburgh isn't the most picturesque city anyway, then you go up there and it is just AWESOME!  Check out the pics we took there as well as pictures of Pittsburgh from on the ground!  LOL

Despite the extreme heat yesterday, we ventured out to the Three Rivers Arts Festival in downtown Pittsburgh.  It cost us a fortune in drinks to keep me hydrated but since the festival itself was free it was no biggie.  We also meandered ove to Point State Park thinking it was all done, but it wasn't!  In fact, Doug read where it won't be completed until 2010!  What's up with that?  We saw Govenor Rendell and Mayor Luke Ravenstahl on TV cutting the ribbon last week!!!  Oh well, what is done looks great and we can only hope the rest of it is just as nice.  The fountain wasn't on so we didn't walk down that far but check out the pics from both the Arts Festival and Point State Park:
