... to watch while we ate chips and salsa, then returned the DVD for another, which we watched later. Kelsey loved being able to cook dinner--and I mean beyond preparing microwave pasta dishes. She made ranch chicken and peas, and I did the dishes. Kinda like normal life :)<br><br>We're thankful for our little room in Candlewood. It'll be a nice home base for a while.

Along the Way:<br><br>From Milton, we drove Hwy 25, the QEW to Fort Erie and I-90 from Buffalo to Erie, PA and then Hwy 79 through the Allegheny Mountains to Pittsburgh. There was smoke/haze/smog along the entire drive but the temperature increased from 42-75 deg F. We stayed at the KOA campground in Washington, PA (just south of Pittsburgh). You have to be a mountain goat to enter the ...

... to leave. Kevin, predictably, was sitting waiting for us, presumably bored with the outing for the day.<br><br>Back on the bus, and before I knew it, the taxi was waiting and we were on our way to the airport. We quickly said goodbye and I snapped a couple of RIDICULOUS ads for the PGH Sky Mall in the terminal shuttle "Forget the news! Go Shopping!"... It never fails to amaze me, how retarded people are.<br><br>Read the rest, to find out just how retarded I am in the next entry....<br>

... I thought it was delicious. <br><br>We stopped in at Labad's for some hummus, then onto Primanti Bros. to try their famous sandwich with the french fries in it.

There were at least 200 different types of cheese there, and the manager knew everything ...

... Porter from the steelers lives right across the street from him. Gene had sent me an article recently that Porter's dogs- a pitbull and bull mastiff- had gotten out of his yard and killed a small horse at a local farm. Funny stuff. We met Gene's wife Beth and their adorable little red-headed 2yr old Andrew. This kid has every sporting toy imaginable- basketball hoop, baseball tee and bat, boxing gloves, golf clubs, even hurdles ...

... Pathfinder. Not two minutes later a pair of dusky, half-naked men and a bedraggled, skanky brunette came bounding out their doorway, tripping over one another. Like a hitman who stays to confirm his kill I put the Pathfinder in gear and slowly drove off to Cincinnati. I think I was expecting too much when we entered the stands and took our seats at Great American Ballpark, home to the Cincinnati Red Legs. Great American Ballpark sounds a lot more enticing ...
