Halloween

I went to the trunk o treat for our ward two nights ago.  I was surprised by the turnout.  We had about 30 cars there and lots of kids as well. It was a lonely night without Erin and kids though.  Erin was nice enough to send me some pictures of the girls.

 Cuteness!!!

Settling In

I went in to Pittsburgh and snapped some pictures.  I stumbled across Primanti Bros restaurant, home of the coleslaw, french fry burger.  I also went to the Fort Pitt museum.  It is weird to think that this area was well inhabited by Europeans well before we were a nation.  George Washington fought his first battle here against the french.

There are lots of bridges that cross the three rivers to lead into Pittsburgh.  The rivers are the Monogahela, the Ohio and the Allegheny.  These rivers are massive, like the Mississippi in Nauvoo.  We are about 20 minutes from Pittsburgh following I-70  going SW.  The ward building is about 10-15 minutes SW in Washington, PA going down I-70.  Work is only 4 minutes from Cody's and since we are moving in next door, it will be nice to come home for lunch and not having to worry about commuting into the office.

My office is located on the first floor of a 4 floor building.  The building is shaped like a C and is only a few years old.  I report to a gal who works out of an office in the middle of nowhere in VA.

Bridalveil Falls

We went with Erin's cousin Matt and his family to Bridalveil Falls.  The kids enjoyed building a dam and playing in the freezing cold water.  It was nice to spend some time with them before leaving.

PA

It was a crazy-long drive from Utah to Penn.  I drove along I-80 and passed through Utah, Wyoming, Nebraska, and Iowa, then decided to take another route and continued on through Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and West Virginia before crossing into PA.

I took this while the car was moving because I wasn't going to waste my time stopping.

I also stopped to get a looksy at our closest temple. This is the Columbus, OH temple and is about 2.5 hours away from us. Very pretty and very mini.
