We Finally Made it to Pittsburgh!....the First Stop (Pittsburgh Zoo and Aquarium)

After a few other attempts this summer, we changed our original plans and decided to make a short trip to Pittsburgh rather than just going for the day. I really wanted to go back to Sesame Place and have been asking all summer but this trip was fun too!  I really liked being able to stay in a hotel and packing a suitcase!

Our first stop was the Pittsburgh Zoo and Aquarium.  I loved seeing all the different animals and all the unique features of this zoo.  I was so excited and so well behaved!  Jaden wasn't in the best mood but he loves animals so we were able to get some smiles out of him :)



Yes, that is really a skunk!

Deer up close and personal


Kangaroos!

One of these days we will have a nice family picture again!





Petting Farm; I wasn't scared this year!

Sea Lions!  Jaden loved these guys!  There was a mommy, daddy and baby!


Aquarium Time!  Jaden absolutely loves fish so he was real happy in here!  He kept saying "fish fish"!

Petting a Sting-Ray



 Mommy and daddy have learned their lesson with trying to save money and stay in "cheaper" hotels.  This time we stayed at the Hyatt and it worked out perfect!  Jaden and I were super excited to be in a hotel with lots of new experiences.  Jaden was into EVERYTHING!  Mommy says that his "terrible twos" have started early!  He even kept opening the door to our room even with it locked!  Overall, we did awesome and really enjoyed this experience!  We even got to swim in the pool!



Even though Jaden can definitely find trouble, he is such a good helper!  He insisted on rolling our suitcase all the way from our room to our car when we left.  Everyone thought he was the cutest thing!  He did an awesome job and made it the whole way!
