On to our final stop: Pittsburgh

We decided to enjoy our hotel room a bit more the next morning. It had rained over night so the windows were a bit wet, but over all it was still a wonderful site. We took a stroll down to the water to take one last look at the falls. Then, we went back to the room and packed everything up.

We grabbed a quick breakfast at Tim Hortons...apparently it's a thing up north.

Then, it was off to Pittsburgh. We drove over the bridge in Niagara and then headed down a more scenic route in New York to avoid the toll road. We ended up in some sort of wine region...again! We stopped at one winery and did a tasting just to get out of the car.

We arrived in Pittsburgh in time to check in to our hotel, The Priory Hotel, which was an old monastery. Super cool historic building with creaky stairs and old furniture. A real hidden gem in Pittsburgh very near the baseball field.

After checking in, we drove to a late lunch at Conflict Kitchen which is a cool place that serves food from a country that the US is currently in some sort of conflict with. Currently, they're doing Iranian food. It was yummy. But, it did start pouring out just as we arrived and it was a little outdoor food stand, so that was a bit of a mess. However, there was a big tent we could sit under and enjoy our food while watching the rain.

After our late lunch, we headed out of town a bit and went to The Church Works Brewery (another one inside an old church...and they really embraced it!) and then to Arsenal Cider House which was really yummy.

On the way home, I dropped Michael at a brewery (Penn Brewing Company) near our hotel and I went to take a little nap. Once Michael made it home from his adventure, we went down to the hotel bar (apparently the smallest in Pittsburgh) and we had some dinner and chatted with the very interesting bar tender.

That was it for that day. A slow day for the Grishmarrs, but we had a big day planned for our last full day.
